V&T. Slimline.
chimay, wow the aroma really doesn't prepare you for the assault on the taste buds, harsh biscuit and malty tones, adding in the yeast changes the flavor and melows the bite a little, enough to make it a different beast, slight alcahol warming on the gut but not un pleasant.

Tired and soaking wet, a far cry form sunny Canada lol Yes mate managed to squeeze a can in while a M&S special chills
Have to admit I liked the Rum Cask myself though deffo not my fav Innis&Gunn.Must be a shock to the system landing back in the uk, weather being last on the list of adjustments. would love to go to Canada, like America without the guns, or idiots 
.... unfair realy as I'd love to do a micro crawl through America I can only imagine it would be the crawl of a lifetime 
Innis & gunn really know how to put there stamp on a drink, Really have a new appreciation for there brews.
Another goose island, a break for the taste buds and a bloody fine drink, really recommended to any one who can try it. Need to reign in the taste buds a little as
Its a pricey interest to have!

^^ Yes mate the Innis & Gunn stuff is something else, once again I tip my hat to Ahleckz. Going to have a hunt for some of the ones you've mentioned
American brews seem to be tickling me at the moment, I do read that American hops do tire after a while but I'll let you know when I get there.
A guilty admission by me though, I had my first Guinness 3 weeks ago and I keep meaning to bye a 4 pack of draught but I neve seem to be able to bring my self to it, not because I won't enjoy... I know I will. It's rather I know it supposed to be liquid gut in a can an that keeps swaying me away!

I love it. Guinness Black Lager
Vicisthebest asked me a while back when it was going to be released in UK mainland but the person I asked never bothered getting back, can only guess they didn't have an answer. Have you seen it for sale in England?Oh and M&S Southwold Summer Beer
' Zesty flavour of gratefruit, sweet with a hint of bitterness' it's very nice indeed though I do prefer the Southwold Blonde Beer.

Thornbridge south pacific ale.
First ale I have had where real strong piney notes dominate all of the aroma and flavour, there's a spicynes but it is more of deep herbal spice that realy holds the bitterness too, a dominant flavour thought, enjoyable but I'd imagine a acquired taste.
Still nice, a 6.5

this thread is the only place i have seen it, i was intrigued but never got round to asking. looks like the next natural progression of the company, why they would need a trial is beyond me but i hope they introduce it here, seems like a cracking drink that could realy do well.
