BrewDog/Evil Twin -- Roaster Coaster *
BOTW ,and not for the first time,goes to BrewDog/Evil Twin Roaster Coaster.The nitro helps give it great smoothness,decent coffee hit with a subtle lingering dryness demanding more.IMHO a very good imperial stout,straight outta Tescos.
Next week following Moby and TP down the Vibrant Forest route having polished off all my reserves from Lockdown 3 online ordering.
Stocks were higher than calculated:

Brewdog Mr President

Cans:
Northern Monk New World IPA
Marble Berimbolo
Brew York Big Eagle
Marble Cross Collar
Marble Lagonda
Marble Rapid Vienna IPA
No disappointments there and all were very good.
BOTW Brewdog Mr President. Thoroughly enjoyed their double IPA as an after dinner drink. Probably best that I only had the one bottle in stock at 9.2%.
Slimmer pickings this week. Also had some cooking lagers just to mix things up:
Bottles
Beerblefish 1892 IPA (6.6%)
Ayinger Winter Bock (6.7%)
Cans
Verdant There Will Be No Intervals (4.5%) pale ale
Arbor The Devil Made Me Brew It (5.5%) dry-hopped stout
Tiny Rebel Stay Puft Imperial Honey Glazed Ham Marshmallow Porter (9.0%)
Tiny Rebel Stay Puft Imperial Irish Coffee Marshmallow Porter (9.0%)
Tiny Rebel Stay Puft Imperial Mint Chocolate Marshmallow Porter (9.0%)
My experiences with the Tiny Rebel beers were recorded here. Ham, IMHO, whether glazed or not, is definitely not an ingredient that should be added to a beer.
I particularly enjoyed the Winter Bock – a winter version of the brewery's Celebrator dopplebock. I struggled to find it online after first seeing it as the note I'd left on my phone auto-corrected the word Ayinger to 'Stinger' and 'Stinger Winter Bock' wasn't getting me anywhere on the Beercraft webshop where I'd first seen it. A dark and malty joy with a hint of liquorice, and toffee and caramel notes that I could actually discern, along with an ease of drinking that belied its strength, this was a superb change to the weak lagers and fancy-named stouts and porters of late:
BOTW: Ayinger Winter Bock
