It's a bit more complicated than that...
(a) Hop hop hop Black IPA
(b) Sweet sweet Porter Darth Vader
(c) @theclaud had a pina colada, I had a wild yeast bitter. Delish.
(d) Rook & Voor deMo bottled stuff at 8.2%. It's not often that @theclaud and I are both silenced, but...... By Gad!!!!!!!!
@Delftse Post - you are not only an annoyingly easy on the mind beer guide, you also have a good eye for a decent brewery. This was very easily the best brew either of us had ever had. In the meantime, @rvw had diet coke. Which was sweet

The family opposite us on the train from Filton had a 4(?) year old who wanted to know whether she needed a passport.
In the meantime, the delightful TC was, well, delightful.

I've been drinking a lot less recently... however, just before New Year I picked up a couple of bottles each of of the latest offerings from from my local microbrewery, Stone City Ales.
The first two were for the New Year's party we went to: "Stay Gold", an 8% Belgian Golden Ale, bottled in 750ml wine bottles with a champagne cork - it went down very well, really fruity but also dry and, well... golden.
The other two were a Rum Barrel-aged Extra Stout, "Iron Lion". I've already tried it from the barrel and it was amazing. Those two bottles are being put away for a while.
Stone City goes from strength to strength...

Hobgoblin (Wychwood, 5.2% abv)
The best known of Wychwood's character beers, I suspect, but surprisingly, one that Mrs M has never tried. Given her fondness for the rest of the range, I was keen to share a bottle of this with her. The flavour has echoes across the rest of the Wychwood range, but in Hobgoblin is malty, darkly caramelly, with a balancing note of herby/grassy hops. I'm pleased to say that Mrs M, with her penchant for darker, sweeter beers, enjoyed this one, declaring it "Very nice".
Incidentally, I must apologise to plant fans - my usual backdrop has been replaced, post Christmas, with a fruit bowl. I've included my preferred bottle opener in the picture to soften the blow.

They're in there - a trick of the light has made the blade and visible part of them the same colour.

Resolution, Happy New Beer
Tastes how it looks. Just dark enough so you can't see just how "hazy" it is.
Beer's not cloudy anymore, it's "hazy". This is for all manner of reasons: temperature, humidity, tannins, organic-ness. Odd really 'cos back in my day, when I was a cellarman it was because some clutz had kicked the barrel or on one occasion " just shook it boss, to see how much was left in ".
Anyway; it's Sunday! Beef, pork or Turkey? You decide.

Sam Smiths Imp Stout. Got it for 30% off since its out of best before date! Not really sure though how this kind of beer could spoil. Lovely beer. Dark as, tan head and an apple spirit aroma. Treacly, bay leaf and licorice flavour with a coffee/bitter almost salty caramel finish. Thick mouthfeel.
You've gone all yankee or autocorrect!
Second up is the Op& Top
The first mundane one I've had from my recent deMo immersion therapy...
