Morning team!
Ok, quick run down as follows...
First up Celt Experience Bleddyn 1075, 5.6% IPA, strong hop aroma with intense bitter taste, not bad but don't know why I got a pint of this as I usually go half pints, over-excitement I guess.
Next a half of Tiny Rebel Fubar, a red ale, ok but nothing special, a nice description in the notes but it didn't come through in the tasting.
Dark Star Victorian Mild, a deceptively strong mild at 6%, very drinkable.
Now moving into looney territory with a 6.5% 1872 Poter by Elland. This was outstanding, a fine coffee choc aroma which followed into the taste, superb rich intense flavour, as portery as porter gets - perfect!
Put on the warning siren, here comes Russian Rouble, a 7.3% imperial Russian stout. A rich roasty stout, it wasn't overly done and didn't give away its strength, very nice but could have done with a bit more punch in the taste department.
Sampled a couple of beer chums beers and ciders, all pretty good although I can't remember the names of any, there was a fruit cider which was like drinking boiled sweets, yuk, and a special mench for the worst beer of the evening which had the aroma of toilet cleaning fluid and tasting fuggin vile, don't know the name to warn you lot but it just shows that some folks will put stuff out there without a reality check sometimes.
