It's our third annual pilgrimage piss-up for the last 2 days of the 6 days of Gent track racing.

I'd have loved to Rich, but I'm taking my daughter to a cross country race (and running in the old gits race).
I looked at getting some tickets for the 6days, but they seemed to be all sold out a few weeks ago. Have fun!

Speaking of Gent, tried this Heady & Topper the other night which we bought in a beer shop in Gent for 11 euros a couple of months ago. They limited it to one per customer. Very nice too.......

I'll give it a go
Thanks
Edit: can't find a single beer in there. I've tried some from memory and some from the selection in the pub I happen to be in

Westvleteren 12. Not sure it really lives up to the hype, but a very nice beer all the same.

I think its downfall could be that brewers have to contribute their tasting notes.

Goliath (Wychwood, 4.2% abv)
Another from Wychwood's character range. A lot of biscuit, a bit of hop bitterness towards the end, and the occasional hint of cold tea. Not a favourite for me, although not terrible either. They did such a nice job with Hobgoblin and Hopgoblin that their misses always feel a bit disappointing.
Mrs M says : "Very nice."

Here for rides.
I had a Happy Buddha with my noodles in Wagamama at lunchtime, then I left in the company of two gay men and we went to Dark Star's The Anchor Tap. One had a peach sour beer which was lovely, the other had a Tax Evasion Lager which wasn't whilst I, as a RSBB, had a half of the very good Siren Broken Dreams Breakfast Stout. I planned on a second half of another stout, the 360 degree, assuming them to be somewhat effete and thus slow in sinking pints but alas they downed theirs faster than I drank mine.
Am sat now on a cold and wet and lonely station platform in Ifield, Crawley, dreaming of the M&S Spiced porter that is in the fridge. Hope it goes with beans on toast.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
A pint of Rebellion Brewery's Smuggler - a decent enough autumn ale which suffered from being pumped through a broken handpump system. Followed by a couple of Bath Ales' Dark Side. All in our local representation of a rapidly growing chain pub/bar/café operation - the Metro Lounge. Smuggler is obviously their token local beer - Marlow is 10 miles or so from here.

Dipa v7 (Cloudwater, 9% abv)
Well, this feels slightly like I'm in the presence of beer royalty. Firstly, it has a wonderful aroma - very fresh and something of a mix between floral and citrus. The relatively high abv is noticeable in the taste, bringing a spirit like burn (not as strong as that, but that kind of feeling). The taste is citrus, peppery and that bit of sweet burn, along with an underlying bitterness that is hard to place flavour wise.
Describing a beer like this is dancing about architecture - it's complex, and delicious and terribly difficult to pin down in text.
