I found it a bit insipid, wasn't enough about it to make me buy it again.

Fair comment. I wouldn't seek it out, and the shop I bought it from usually has Brain's Dark and Brain's Stout in stock anyway.
Can't find anyone locally who carries Shepherd Neame stout thobut, not even my local Tesco.

Dark Star's Imperial Russian Stout is much nicer than any of that awful Harvey's muck (Can you tell I'm a King and Barnes man?)That Harveys Imperial Double Stout is a little too in-your-face for me. I'll be interested in what 3BM makes of it.
p.s. I know beer is supposed to go in yer face

Broken Dream from Siren, a breakfast stout. Not bad: nice chocolate and coffee flavour and sweet from added lactose. Could be a bit thicker though.

A couple of Sirens I tasted last night. Both good, especially the Empress.

Our village shop has it, 3 for £5:50.
You must have a good memory!
I had a barrel of Kings Beer for my 60th recently - tasteless pap and I was a fan of K&B too!

Had one at home in front of crap TV.

One of (the only) good things that has come out of the K&B sale/takeover is the number of micro-breweries we now have in Horsham. Just wish Dark Star would buy a pub in town.
That said it ain't all rosy, as you discovered. Since WJ King turned into Kings, with Bill King's retirement to go fly his light aircraft and be a locum brewer, their products, which weren't always stellar to start with, have gone downhill imo.

Visited their bottleshop on Gray's Inn Road. Decent selection, although I don't like the new BrewDog branding.

I don't mind it, bit more subtle - reminds me, I must order a crate of stuff from them.
Did you get any Cocoa Psycho, it's lovely stuff?!

I bagged a couple of things from Siren and grabbed some stuff yesterday from Brew by Numbers, Weird Beard and more Siren at Sourced Market.
The best thing I got though was M+S single hop mosaic brewed by Elgoods. I could drink a lot of that!
