I'm going to have to get my act together and get myself up to Edinburgh to a decent beer shop, another night with Innis & Gunn which is excellent but a change would be good.

Earl Grey IPA from Emelisse. Not really enjoying it. the bergamot doesn't really seem to work. Smells a bit like a cleaning product and tastes a bit soapy. A shame. they did a version a couple of years ago with Marble in Manchester which was great.

Talking of which, there's one called Koff!
Might as well have one called 'Puke'!

always remember going out in Finland with 3 friends and taking great pleasure in saying to the barman Four Koff!

A Durham brewery anniversary bottle, called itself a white imperial stout, basically, barley wine. Absolute meal in a glass stuff and took me over an hour to drink a pint of it. Not bad at all, but I think a half would have been better.

2 weeks to borefts. Can't wait.

Mortlach barrel aged imp stout from Uiltje.

This is better! The whiskey flavour was a bit raw to start with, but it's settling down now.

Last one - Mind Your Step from Uiltje.

Had this before, but it's so good. They seem to have chucked the kitchen sink at it - juniper berries, cranberries, coffee, oak chips, dry-hopping... - and pulled it off.

Loads of dark sugar depth, it's just superb.

At 15% it's a bit stiff, so I'll see you lot again sometime on Monday.

Homebrew bitter last night - a nice looking pint, and drinkable enough but nothing special. The way my head feels this morning, I suspect it might be slightly stronger than I thought...

Following up with a Hamerton Pentonville Oyster Stout.

The oyster stout was excellent, finished up with a Sambrook's Battersea Rye, 5.8%, nice stuff although not as bold and spicy as the label suggested.

Oh, that's on the borefts list isn't it? Looking forward to that one.
