A Leighton Buzzard "Cuckoo" , quite malty .. The keen eyed will note the poster advertising the Thurrock beer festival, which I'm looking forward to. .

Tipple trio.

Republic of Liverpool Independent Pale Ale. Hoppy, very pale, hints of grapefruit marmalade, and very hoppy.

Gypsy Hill Pedlar. Richer, malty grapefruit marmalade. Good, but keg cold, which is just that touch too cold for me. So, having tasted marmalade I went on to....

Wold Top Marmalade Porter. Lots of malt, coffee and chocolate but no marmalade. A very good beer but the least marmaladey one I had all night. Perhaps it was a marmalade transporter and it had delivered it all to neighbouring beers.

Mental beer. Who came up with this...

Gose beer which gets the initial sour hit followed by smoky bonfire of a marzen (not quite as bad as a marzen) but still plenty of burning login the mouth. Then when you think the craziness has finished 30 seconds later you get a really salty finish on the lips as though you just came out out the sea. This is some crazy ass sh1t... Still deciding if I actually like it or not...

Edit. And I blame the likes of @DP for even making me attempt to try this type of stuff... Bat sh1t crazy...

My friendly beer expert, aka taproom barman, assures me that Gose is meant to be sour and salty. Perhaps not that salty though!

Meanwhile, Fourpure's taproom just delivered me a Trailhead Guava IPA. (Tasty, very tasty, with a good fruit hit and a none too heavy hop happening at the back.)

Followed by a rather exquisite Maple and Bourbon Imperial Stout. Only a half pint of this 9% beer. It's one of their drink it while it's there beers but they seemed keen to ration it because it was soon going to run out. The Welsh have a word for it and a way of saying it: lush.

Followed by a Night Train porter. Thinner by far than the stout, it had had some involved relationship with the coffee bean. Strange how a beer can have a sweetness but a dry coffee taste at the same time.

Home and winding down with an Innes and Gunn Bourbon Barrel Scotch Ale. It's good enough but not a real rival for the Imperial Stout. It comes from LiDL though so it's affordable. Besides I'm in the mood for rich and dark beers.
