Jambo-Jimbo Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Blue Dug Brew (3.6%) - Carlsberg UK Had a pint of this in the Blue Dug Bar, Barony Castle Hotel, Eddleston, Peeblesshire, it is named after the Blue Dug, a ghost story associated with the hotel. The Duty Manager said it is brewed by Carlsberg. The Great Polish Map of Scotland is located within yards of the hotel. What did I think of the beer, pretty bog standard cask beer tbh, alright, but nothing special, meal was lovely though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Jimbo Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Last up tonight, as I better not have anymore, as I'm also hitting the rum (more than I should be ) Order of the Faith DDH IPA (6.5%) - Northern Monk & Alpha Delta Brewing, Yorkshire & Newcastle. Cloudy pale yellow, really citrusy, not exactly my prefered brew tbh, more in tune with the modern trend of right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going have to try this old jock, I’m sure I’ve had it years ago, will have a look for it. Drinking this at the moment, a lovely beer from Vocation, they do some fantastic beers, this one has chocolate, bourbon and a hint of chilli, superb, would definitely buy again.

Jambo-Jimbo Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Posted this beer before, but I have to say I really do like this. Grand Imperial Porter (8%) - Amber Brewery, Bielkowko, Poland It really won't be everyones cup of tea as it is really intense and strong, reminds me an old time strong beer, something along the likes of Traquair Ale, if anyone has tried that.

The story behind it is good, brewed by benedictine monks to provide them sustenance as a meal substitute during lent as they didn't eat, so got pished instead.

HMFC01 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Just halfway through a bishops finger for the first time. Iam not sure I can taste much identifiable, it's a pleasant enough drink at least. Not strong or much after taste. Could down a few I think, Iam only having one today. Does have a slight fruity smell, as indicated on the label on the back ☺ 👍 Not bad at all, will try again 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
