IS that Mac B's full name?
I finally got round to trying the M&S Sovereign tonight. I know that a few of the more discerning memebers had rated it reasonably highly.
The strong toffee/caramel, sweet flavour was initially appealing enough for me to exclaim 'Wow, I like this stuff', but it's attraction paled like a cheap bit of costume jewellery.
It reminded me of the chocolate-covered, soft, liquid toffee Quality Street sweet with a hint of beer in the background. A one-trick wonder. Each to his own, eh?

At a rezzie in Nottingham last night, amongst the fizzwaz they had Shipstone's Bitter, nice straightforward beer, clear crisp, nice hoppy taste (goldings and fuggles) and finish, good session beer at 3.8%, I had a session of two!
Shipstone's was an old family brewery started in 1852 and owned by the same family until the 70s, closed down in the 90s. A beer loving guy having a mid-life crisis brought it back to life last year. He tracked down one of the original brewers to ensure authenticity, the beer can't be made in the original brewery due to some licensing restriction. They make two beers, as far as I can tell; original and a golden ale - good luck to them, it's nice stuff.

I came across this guy who 'rates' real ale and craft beers as a self-styled expert. He only has about 3 adjectives to describe any of them. I've only watched one or two for entertainment value. I thought I'd watch the Pelforth Brun to see how they rated it

I really enjoy his reviews, although I'm not sure that he intends them to be quite so amusing!
This is my favourite. He's actually reading the back of the bottle, so he calls the beer "Restaurant and Tasting Room" from De Molen instead of "Windmill beer" from De Molen!

Clearly his language skills are as deficient in Dutch as French!

21grams from DeMo.
A DIPA with 21g hop/litre, I guess. Bloody sweet with a more herbal euro hop feel.
