Well worth a visit to their tap, they always get awesome food companies along

[Gyroscope]

Oh, nice, we go to Lewes quite a lot. Or at least we did pre-covid.

Thank you.

Despite the daft name, the Neon Raptor beers are usually very good.

Yesterday, day 10, an export India stout. Think they roasted the malt too far, tasted burnt.

Or just too much Black Malt or Special B. Both in large quantities give off burnt flavours. Often referred to by brewers as a “smokey” character

[anon14766838]

I dunno, but it tasted burnt. There is a fine edge between smokey and toasty, and burnt - cremated…

[thebiglebowski]

Were you cooking dinner at the same time as drinking the beer?

[anon14766838]

we ate Thai at a local pub…beer was opened after we got back

[Gyroscope]

[MGOwner]

Yeah some do. I’ve done it myself before and gave a lot away, then binned the rest. Not my thing.

[Gyroscope]

Ooh, that’s a nice change.

[anon14766838]

day 11 (yesterday), another stout, this time too sweet for me

[clap]

I’d love to try that.

[Gyroscope]

No idea.

From Newcastle it would seem.
