Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Other Imperial Stouts after WW II
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
Just a quick post. Been busy today with what, I hope, will be my last exam ever. It was all a bit weird.The name Imperial Stout was used by quite a few breweries after WW II. Mostly for pretty feeble beer. If you thought Barclay Perkins effort was a bit feeble, take a look at this lot. The weakest, from Russell, is only about the strength of Mild Ale.
Sorry, I missed the weakest McEwan sample, which doesn't even reach 3% ABV.
Only the beers from Bass/Worthington (almost certainly the same beer) and Carlsberg come anywhere near to living up to the name.
