Sorry to hear that. The TC has been on my West London 'to do' list for a long time.
I've had a few Milton beers down the years and I've found most of them passable, without being anything special. However, I'm quite partial to a pint of Nero, which is their take on an oat stout.
It's over a year since I felt the need to nominate a BABOTW, but Coco Loco from The Grafton Brewing Co, tried at the Todmorden Beer Festival is an absolute clunker. Luckily, I didn't actually buy it,...
Dear God. It must have been appalling! :D
Somewhere, in the dark recesses of my wardrobe, probably towards the Narnia end, still lies a battered Timothy Taylor tee shirt in that familiar shade of green. In the nineties, I used to wear it...
A good wander with 'trainman' over the weekend saw us sampling some excellent beers, however there was one absolute stinker in the form of Nelson Spanker. The brewery strapline describes it as 'a...
With you on this one 'ob'. Had it on Saturday night at an American beer festival and really didn't like it. The programme described it as 'aromas of bitter chocolate and oak, as well as multiple...
Jaipur seems to be pretty common in Nicholsons pubs, in London. Last time I was down it was on in all three from the chain I visited and particularly fine in The Black Friar, EC4.
It's been a while since I felt the need to nominate a beer here, but Thwaites' Benny and Hop really was an absolute toe curler. Doffing its cap at Lancashire's love affair with Benedictine liqueur,...
Whilst I share your loathing of GK IPA, I don't think Burton Ale deserves to disparaged in the same way. Around 1990, when it was Supreme Champion, I thought it was an excellent brew. Truth be told,...
Tried it about a month ago, in The Grove, Leeds and remember being rather disappointed. Like you you I was waiting for the Cascade 'hit', but it never came. Mine was perfectly drinkable, without any...
It's not very often I come across something so awful that I feel the need to mention it on this thread. However, Oates Summit, tried over the weekend, was absolutely bloody dreadful. It's a new...
Have to agree. Blonde, Porter and Barnstormer Pale, they've all left me underwhelmed.
That pretty much describes their Winter Porter, I tried over Christmas. (Duchess of Cambridge, Stamford Brook) For a 6% beer to be nigh on tasteless is unforgivable in my book. To be fair the 5am...
Not quite sure what you mean here. Do you mean you didn't recognise the pump clip? They have changed the design recently and are now predominantly yellow and black, with red and white print. I know...
Easy tiger, that's bordering on fighting talk! :D MSM is one of my favourite all time beers and on a quiet week is always hovering in BOTW territory. I think the key word is sour, I'll bet my...
I actually didn't mind it. Unfortunately, mine was on the turn, as I guess it had been slow to tick over, with it being such an 'out there' beer, but I could quite happily have drunk a couple, if...
I had it in the Sussex Arms, Twickenham, a couple of weeks ago. My memory of it was an okay-ish, strong dark mild. I certainly didn't find it revolting, so I suspect your's was past its best....
I thought they all were, if you drank enough of them. :whistle:
Glad to know it wasn't just me then. :)
I've never felt the urge to nominate a BABOTW before. However, Black Hole 'Starry Nights', tried over the weekend, was the weirdest thing I've drunk in ages and I struggled to finish a half. Vaguely...
I know we touched on Roosters when we were putting the world to rights, on the train down, on Friday. My best guess is that Sean just looks over their shoulder and largely lets them get on with it. I...
I nearly typed I've not yet had the pleasure, but that's obviously not the phrase to use! Will probably still try a couple out of curiosity, but I'm in no rush.
Just shows that any brewery can produce the occasional stinker. However, Milk Street 'Funky Monkey' is fantastic stuff and both Wittenden and I have had it as BOTW.
