So here we are. I've been fiercely critical of Tavour for a number of years, and with good reason in many cases, but when Machine House turned up on the app a few weeks ago all of that was forgotten - at least temporarily. Machine House is a...
Fell into this beer completely accidentally. Added it to a mail order box simply to make it up to 12 bottles to offset the shipping a little. $12.99 for the 375 mL bottle. Best Before 18.10.2026. Described as a Scottish Strong Ale (meaningless),...
Additional notes 05/31/23 pictured You can see from the note below that I didn't particularly care for this a year ago, and I got plenty of pelters for that. Not to worry, I'm used to that! Anyway, as is usually the case I'm prepared to give most...
Bottled Winter 2010, best before 12.14. A beer from their Thornbridge 'Hall' series. Black pour. Tan head, with some nice legs. Head retention is better than expected given the ABV. Nose offers some alcohol and some solvent based licorice. On...
12 oz single. Murky. mid-brown/orange pour that creates some head but not much lace. Nose offers a malty fruit base that adds a little bitterness that is reminiscent of grapefruit, but to be honest it's not a grapefruit taste that one normally...
12 oz bottle courtesy of finewinemike as part of my 2010 Secret Santa package. This beer was on my Wants list for a long time, and I must admit I'm a bit confused by that - I *think* that's because BA used to have this categorized as an ESB, and a...
22 oz presentation. Massive thanks go out to Gregg for the opportunity to try this one. The pour into the Terrapin snifter and gives quite a still body with a light, copper color with obviously no head or lace. Ultimately it looks like a brandy in...
Additional note 02/03/23 (pictured) A cloudier, more brownish/orange color than the red garnet noted in 2009 below. Head is excellent this time around too, with good retention and some fantastic lace. All in alll it looks quite different to what it...
Additional notes: 09/29/2022 (Pictured). Another beer where the nots from 14 years ago match the current experience almost perfectly. It's hard to find any discrepancy at all. Great sticky lace, biscuity moreishness, and great English Pale Ale...
500 mL bottle from Greens on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. Part of the new wave of Thwaites available here in the USA. Here is an excerpt from my review of another of this range (Wainwright) which also applies here; "The presentation looks good and...
Thanks go out to Silentsabre for the chance to try this one. 500 mL bottle, different to the picture in the BA db (maybe that is an English version and this is the American version?). Product of Belgium? An English Strong Ale? No Barley? I wonder...
Additional notes 10/04/2022 Possibly a 2021 vintage (L21 254) considering when I purchased it, but it does have the Shelton Bros moniker so maybe earlier than that. Same presentation, ABV etc. as years gone by which suggests this still sells well...
$4.99 for the 12oz bottle. Delighted to find this at Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. WOW! Best beer I've had in some time. Pour is a BEAUTIFUL, honey amber body with amazing clarity, a fantastic head and some nice lace. Carbonation is mild, but...
Both amazed and delighted to find a Hook Norton product at Green's on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. $4.95 for the 500 mL bottle. One of the best English brewers in days gone by, I'm about to catch up with one of their newer products. Tall and slim...
Beer with a great deal of potential but a little rough around the edges. Had it on a couple of different visits to Devon, but this was in Great Torrington just down the road from the brewery. Darkish pour with a distinct lack of head. Carbonation...
500 mL bottle, Smyrna Beverage Warehouse, Smyrna, GA, USA. Typical English Pale Ale (a little stronger in the ABV stakes), dark orange pour with a bubbly but not dense head - some sticky lacing. A lot of malt sweetness in the nose, very tempting....
Typical and delicious. Amber orange pour with an initially large head, but this fades quickly. Some spotty head is left behind with a little lacing, but not much. Aroma and tastes are exactly as expected. All sweet, biscuity malts with the only...
Rather unattractive beer, with a dirty brown appearance, some head and a tiny bit of lace. The color of the body is really not very nice, it looks like muddy pond water. Very soft and creamy mouthfeel that is surely this beers best feature. Lovely...
Pictured 06/05/16 Original notes 12/05/2004 Beers as good as 1845 remain few and far between. I think of this as a classic English bitter. It's a dark beer, with loads and loads of taste and complexity, but above all else it has SUBTLETY! Beers...
$2.99 500 mL, Green's Beverage, Ponce de Leon, Atlanta, GA. Without question one of the best beers that I have tasted in a long time. Great appearance, with a truly dark red, classic English Bitter look, a hearty, rocky head that has very good...
