A couple of beers tonight, first up is Whiplash Bone Machine.jpg, a 6.2 IPA , bright orange in colour, initially quite sharp citrus tastes that settle down with some pine, refreshing and quaffable, masking its true strength. 7/10
Next and currently is from what I consider the top brewer in the UK, Kernel Imperial Brown Stout.jpg, 9.6%. Brewed from an 1856 Barclay Perkins recipe, rich dark chocolate and and coffee, with a smokey/leathery antique quality to it, it's simply sublime and I have to get more. 10/10

Some nice beers at the weekend.
ansbach and hobday -the ipa 8/10 was looking for a straightforward ipa and this was good
arbor -midnight blue 8.5/10 once again a straight forward stout with a nice fruity finish 8.5
Sometimes brewers forget that most people want good quaffable beer.
arbor -flaked Alaska 9/10 there is room to experiment with neipas and this was a belter.
I had that one myself on Sunday. Yes, very enjoyable. And I think I've another lurking somewhere. I paired it with The Kernel Export Stout 7.5%, this one a recipe from 1890, a London brewery that is not mentioned in their write up.

I can't answer for Mick, but mine came from Beer Central in Sheffield's Moor Market. Quite expensive at £4.95 for a 33cl bottle, but worth it. You can get deliveries from the brewery, but they're a little pricey at £8.50, so if you live anywhere near SE16 calling in is also an option.

Online at Craft Metropolis. £4.95, obviously shipping on the order adds to the cost.

A Limonata Pale. It's probably a love or hate beer, I like lemon in beer, the hops are Chinook and Mosaic with the addition of lemon zest.
Obviously the taste is heavily lemon but there is also some lime and pineapple evident. I have enjoyed this on cask in the past, It's just as good from the can. A 4.2% refresher.7.5/10.

Hawkshead Mosaic Pale 4%.
Light and refreshing, but very fizzy, I'll apply a swirl of spoon next time.
Not really enough Mosaic for me, to the extent that even Will may like it.
But at 4 kiddie cans for £4 on special offer at our big Tesco, I can't really complain.
