The **Now Drinking** Thread

Having a nice West Country Bitter for St Georges day. Then it's back to my healthy diet as described by the doc...well more or less... :D

It's Stone, therefore it's awesome (though pitchfork will soon be along to tell me that I'm so very wrong ;)).

I'm not usually a fan of smoked beers (made from smoking the malt usually with peat), even though I'm a huge smokey whisky fan. But bought this because it's from Stone.

The smokiness is there, but it's pretty subtle and is an almost afterthought which is good. Great balance to the beer. Surprisingly fizzy for a Porter as well, which does work and makes it a lot more light and smooth. 5.9% which seems about right though there's a hint of alcohol once it's passed the mouth.

All in all? A solid, and different, Porter. Recommended.

Good drinking tonight!
 
Very limited selection in the pub I was in last night so I opted for this having never heard of it before:



Has anyone else heard of this or tried it? Tasted very flat and bland to be quite honest. Definitely not one I'd buy again!
