Message BlackHaddock P beers 15453 º places 1053 º 15:17 Wed 10/18/2017 Originally posted by mR_fr0g Originally posted by harrisoni I am genuinely surprised that I had this many dark beers to rate in my stash. Normally I go for blond and hoppy. Enough about your taste in women Ian. Blondes in Amsterdam, once wrote an article on the subject. <*))))))><

Message FatPhil P beers 26061 º places 995 º 15:22 Wed 10/18/2017 Originally posted by harrisoni Now that I've done Craig in Edinburgh, you become my next must visit for RB. I'm not promising it'll be soon but certainly in the next 12 months. Woo woo! We can put you up, and we can drag you to multiple countries too! Raising a glass (of dark beer) to old blighty - Titanic Plum Porter Grand Reserve, brought over by martinsh to Riga.

Message harrisoni P beers 25356 º places 68 º 15:23 Wed 10/18/2017 Which then lends me to ask, what is your current favourite single hop?

I'll need to pick up a load of shitty pale lagers from the supermarkets so I'll give you plenty of warning to clear out the fridge.
Message BlackHaddock P beers 15453 º places 1053 º 15:25 Wed 10/18/2017 Next for me is another Morrison's fest beer; St Peter's Plum Porter. Only 10 rates so far, with mine to come. Guess who is the most prolific rater of St Peter's beers? Care to comment Ian? <*))))))><
Message mR_fr0g beers 29121 º places 44 º 15:27 Wed 10/18/2017 Originally posted by harrisoni Which then lends me to ask, what is your current favourite single hop? Sorachi ace - the marmite of hops. For a few years there sorachi ace has been tasting a bit duff, but recently sorachi ace has been tasting great. Loads of lime and coconut, thai spices, dill. Lovely, such a unique hop.

Message harrisoni P beers 25356 º places 68 º 15:30 Wed 10/18/2017 Originally posted by harrisoni Which then lends me to ask, what is your current favourite single hop? I think probably Citra at the moment. But I will drink anything with Sorachi Ace in as it can be fabulous.
Message jjsint P beers 7717 º places 1335 º 15:35 Wed 10/18/2017 Dark beers... Hmmmm. I only have a Kölsch in the house. Maybe I should put some food colouring in it?
Message LazyPyro beers 8155 º places 63 º 15:37 Wed 10/18/2017 Originally posted by harrisoni Originally posted by BlackHaddock Greene King Black IPA: almost liked it. Used oxymoron and idiosyncrasies in the same rating, time to calm down me thinks. <*))))))>< yeah I thought it was ok, due to the fact that it wasn't a Black IPA, just a decent stout. For some reason I get the impression you don't like Black IPAs... would love to know what you'd think of what I'm having next then: https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/8-wired-cosmic-chaos/517737/ Described on the bottle as a "Sour Black IPA", this is a hybrid style I've never tried before and I'm not sure what to expect. Only 15 rates so far and I'll be the first Brit to try it.
