Dagger Is Back Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Was given this as a present. 3.2% This is an online review McEwan's Levy is an extremely drinkable Scottish beer that balances roast flavour notes and a residual sweetness, with roasted coffee and hazelnut aromas For me, it was like drinking coloured water. Very underwhelmed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Been going back through many of the beers I've not had in ages, rather than new ones, tbh there are way too many of these tropical IPA, peach & mango IPA etc etc on the market just now, not for me I'm afraid, one of the reasons I'm buying old favourites just now. I’m really enjoying St Giles from Stewart brewery, it’s my go to beer just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pleasant enough beer but think I’ll stick with my Old Jock, Champion etc I just had my second go at this beer. Tried it at a warmer temperature, also let it breathe a bit. "Fruity". Makes it sound like it's a noticeable taste. Just thinking of figs, raisins and dates, should make it a strong slightly bitter but more sweet tasting. I suppose it is. The toffee if I have it right is that sharper taste. I Hate it in a particular whiskey, I think it is whyte and mckay. The chocolatey taste was disappointing ☺. I was expecting a clear taste. Didn't get it. If I had to think of a food to drink it with I would go with a black forest gateau. Raspberry, maybe strawberries. ☺ I think I'd have to rate hobgoblin along same lines as a bishops finger. Not bad but not good enough. Additionally, I had a crabbies ginger beer with some ginger cake. Blew my taste buds, was delightful. I am liking doom bar Amber ale at the moment overall, although I might get some more those cabbies ginger beers. 🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Badger Brewery - Blandford Fly (used to be called Blandford Flyer, when I first tried it years ago), it has a nice spicy ginger flavour, not overly strong but more than enough to make it noticeable. I got it from Sainsbury's (Straiton), but it is widely available in most supermarkets, cost around £1.50+ per bottle. Or one of these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Miss JJ used to live in Billingshurst, West Sussex and her local the 'Six Bells' is a Hall & Woodhouse (Badger Brewery) pub and they had a good selection of Badger beers on draught. Last time I was there was this time last year, but she's moved now so I'd guess I'll not be in the Six Bells again. 😞 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dia Liom Posted Wednesday at 20:22 Share Posted Wednesday at 20:22 Usually go for a dark beer,, porter or stout, if just having 1 or 2. Don't know why really, like the coffee/chocolatey flavours you get. Something about the colour as well just appeals to me. Usually go for Williams bros Midnight Sun, or March of the Penguins. The Magic Rock brewery Dark Art stout is decent too. Those 12% ones Jimmy has shared look deliciously intriguing... It'd have to be only 1 though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
