After a few in The Beer Capital, Leuven, the nightcap is as per picture... 5.8% of toffee apple coloured goodness (tastes a bit toffee too)...

Northern Monk Heathen as recommended by the barman after another NM, no picture, sorry.

7.2% not as alchohy as some but just a tadge much for me, very, very nice though.

Had a great ride around the paths and bridleways of Milton Keynes with a good mate today

Mostly you wouldn’t know that you were in a city, (or town for those who know their onions)

We dropped into the old spoons in CMK for a couple

Shipyard, lovely

One thing I love about Belgium, a glass for every beer.... (the beer is a very acceptable, citrusy IPA by the way)

The sun is shining in Ghent, that said we had to cycle through a thunder storm, which coincided with a puncture caused by a broken spoke, some nice Belgian folk helped out with a track pump and offer of shelter in their car port..... Back to the subject, the glass n bottle say it all, well apart from it's loveliness..

Lovely to catch you again! Their Marble Trials DDH (Double Dry hopped) needed a few pints, just to make sure I liked it...

A happy ending beer apparently, in the Trollkelder Ghent... The beer is easy drinking, with some malt and a "herbally" aftertaste..

So yesterday with Mossy, Claud, Skol etc was a maelstrom of stupidly strong Northern monk stuff, marshmallow porters, mango lassi gose (was it a gose? I cant remember), something with hibiscus, Manchester tart (the beer not the tart) all washing down "Manchester Eggs" which are like Scotch Eggs, but with added black pudding and a pickled rather than conventional egg. Most dishes are improved with the addition of black pudding and the eggs were no different.

That last sentence has to be a strong contender for quote of the year!

Imperial Oat Cream IPA. Not sure what that is, but deffo has that Nelson Sauvin whiff of cats piss.

Siren in collaboration with Left Handed Giant. Snake Legs described as an Imperial Saison with Rhubarb, it clocks 8.6 on the alchometry scale. The strong vanilla tones make it rather more custard than rhubarb but it is fruity at the front with an aftertaste that you'd expect from a strong Belgian ale. The label says they wanted to do something different and they certainly achieved that.

I hope it tastes better than it looks
