jimmyjambo Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) This is a Left Handed Giant Imperial Stout with Pistachio and Honeycomb, brewed in collaboration with our friends from Uiltje Brewing Co Just had this, a bit surprised about the almond/marzipan flavour, which to me was a tad disappointing as I don’t like marzipan, they mention pistachio in the description, which, in my my mind doesn’t taste of almond. Nice, not sure I would buy again. Edited April 25, 2020 by jimmyjambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMFC01 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 That says chocolate on the back ?🤮 Chocolate without sugar might taste like almonds/marzipan. Albeit @%12.5 alc vol I wouldn't notice 😵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig_ Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Aldi have a selection of Williams Bros cans for 99p a pop just now. Not the famous ones like Caesar Augustus and Joker IPA, but a new range, seemingly themed around classic nightclubs of yore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that, Golden Torch, Hacienda & Studio 54, if so yeh I've had them, alright they were. Have you tried Double Joker IPA, 8.3% so smooth it's deadly, goes down way too easily.

Helzibob Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Can anyone recommend decent companies for beer delivery? I’ve used beer hawk a few times but looking for other alternatives. Mainly IPA’s and ales rather than lagers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambos are go! Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 The prospect of a perfect pint of Tennents Lager is keeping me going. The yellow nectar outsells all other lagers in Scotland put together IIRC. With good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just ordered a 12 bottle case directly from Broughton Brewery for £30 inc P&P, which works out at £2.50 a bottle, which I think is ok for 500ml bottles. I ordered the '79 Selection as the only two in the photo I've had are 'Old Jock' & 6.2 IPA the rest are new beers to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notts1874 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Just as an aside. Try to order direct from the brewer, if you can. Especially if its a local brewer. Money goes straight into their pocket rather than Tesco or middle man. The beer will be fresher as well. Most are working seven days a week to try and keep up with a different demand and reduced staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Malta in June last year and was pleasantly surprised that the company that make Cisk also had a big range of other beers. Cisk Lager, Cisk Excel, Cisk Pilsner, Cisk Strong, Farsons IPA, Farsons Double Red, Farsons Hopleaf, Farsons Blue Label, Farsons Gold Label, Farsons Milk Stout. Also got some from Gozo, Lord Chambray Brewery - Blue Lagoon, Golden Bay, San Blas, Special Bitter. Needless to say I had them all, some on draught as well as bottles/cans.
