Hi folks. I had a very enjoyable half pint of what was listed as Kernels Export Stout, as opposed to ‘…Export Stout London 1890’, at Pelt Trader today. I was presuming it was a keg version of the esl beer but the abv was 6.9 which differs, if I recall correctly, from the bottled version I’ve had. Could anyone clarify? Same beer? Thanks.

I’ve not been to Pelt Trader so I don’t know what their setup is but I’m guessing this was just written on a chalkboard or some such, in which case it can’t really be taken as definitive. As far as I know Kernel (unusually) haven’t made loads of different variations and the Export Stout. And, as the commercial description on RateBeer suggests, the abv is all over the place from batch to batch but not significantly enough to constitute a different beer. Almost certaily the regular one then.

Thanks Chris, thought as much, but thought it was worth checking. Yep, chalkboard type situation for non cask beers in there. It was a lovely drop, though. I’d have rated slightly higher than the bottled versions I’ve had, not that those were anything other than a treat.

The new mulberry sour from Howling Hops is pretty damn tasty, great summer drink and super refeshing. The Wallflower Wit is very sickly however, didn’t like that much.
