    Did it age as well as you'd hoped?! ; )

    C&C and Heineken aren't the only Cute Hoors in Irish brewing :D

    I keep a list of who's what here, for cases of doubt.

    What's the difference between "really nice" and "very nice"?

    had the new kettle sour from Hope, peaches and blueberry. It was very nice, no wait, actually really nice. Joking aside, it was ok, preferred the passionfruit one that they did before.

    Well that's two things I'd love to do. Not sure which one I'll do first though. That's if I ever get to do either!

    Bonita and Goin' Out West in Beer Market on Saturday. I love Bonita so much. GOW was also pretty nice.

    Moved up to the B&C then and had a pint of Trouble Pumpkin, which I really liked, you can taste the biscuit and the spices, which means it does kind of taste like a pumpkin pie. Really enjoyed it.

    Also had a Westy previously after a marathon, and while the occasion demands a fine tipple, perhaps letting some time lapse between the two events in my case would have been more advisable. It's difficult to appreciate the yeasty breadiness of the beer when the body is crying out for hydration and sugar. A nice citrusy, sweet, hoppy APA will perhaps be the target of my next post-marathon celebration. Congrats on the run.

    Had a Brewdog Neon Overlord over the weekend. Sweet mother divine, it nearly blew the head off me with the chilli in it. In a word....Don't!

    O'Brother Bonita - very really nice. Looks like a stout, so you're expecting stoutish malty bitterness, so the fruity sweetness comes as a bit of a surprise. Like it a lot, but too strong/expensive to be a regular.

    Tonight in brewdog Leeds

    Racer 5 by Bear republic
    So fantastically hoppy. An excellent beer.

    Dead by Dawn from the Weird Beard Brewing company.
    Very malty and biscuity. Fine for a few sips and then became a
    Bit much.

    Axe Edge by Buxton Brewery
    Very hoppy.
    Just what I like. Very enjoyable beer.

    Born to Die 4/11/16 on keg
    Had a half pint
    Such a great beer.
    Hopped to the nth degree and so refreshing

    Thornbridge Parma Porter

    According to Thornbridge, this porter has the aroma and flavour of Derbyshire’s Swizzle Matlow Parma Violet sweets. And distinctive it certainly is. Floral and violet flavours are subtle and it has a balanced finish.

    Oskar Blues Old Chub, a scotch ale/wee heavy in The Salthouse, a delightful malty number, doesn't feel like 8%.

    Tried the Blacks of Kinsale single hop IPA's - they're quite bad. I guess I should stop trying with them, everything I've had from them has been bland as hell

    Yellowbelly Citra Pale Ale is excellent, grass & lychee freshness. Finish could be a bit cleaner but a minor gripe. The G'way IPA is also excellent by them, decent West Coast style with a nice resinous bitterness. Their BA Imp Stout was pretty lame though, the base beer isn't sturdy enough. Still better than most BA stouts in this country I guess, sigh

    It wasn't barrel aged, just matured on whiskey soaked oak chips. The actual Bushmills barrel one will be out later.

    Oh, I guess the venue got it wrong then

    Probably better on oak chips - give it more whiskey barrel and it'll get even more unbalanced. I've never had a great BA stout that clocks in under 10%. All world class ones I've had have been over 12% I think
