Now onto a farmhouse pale from my welsh friends.
Hazy again for her

I know it's a cheapo wine, but it's my absolute favourite. Tesco currently has it at £4.39 a bottle.

I was gifted a bottle of stupidly expensive (really, eye wateringly, what on earth is going on there, expensive) wine a few years back and it was...nice enough by comparison.

This stuff is incredible though, maybe it's all about ultra pretentious wine snobbery or maybe I just have a profoundly unsophisticated palette, I dunno.

I do love this wine though. I'm just finishing my second bottle...maybe I love it a little too much...
 
Pumpkin Pie Porter.

Vanilla coming through a bit more now.

Thick moussey head holds up for a few minutes, then leaves lacing. Pretty garnet higlights

Aroma is spices, led by cinammon and clove, slight sweet note.

Taste is clove up front, then vanilla, light roast, some dried raisin/currant rounds all the flavours together (perhaps a bit of plum).

Dry finish with quite firm bitterness (perhaps too much?)

Not everyone's cup of coffee, but if you enjoy pumpkin pie then I think you'd enjoy this.
 
I had the leute bokbier from lidl last week for the first time then went looking for more boks or bocks without much success.

I thought Sips might have some but they are bigger on Belgians than anything else. Came away with these 2 as I’ve never had Dunkel except my own Greg Hughes brew:

Also had a taster of Westmalle Dubbel on tap…it was a lot nicer than I remember the bottle being.
