Beers in Warwick, part two

Continuing the write up of the draught beer from our holiday away in Warwick. All of theses are from the same pub, just outside the town walls. The Old Post office bar is fantastic, opens at twelve and closes about eight or nine, just enough time for us to drink. We went in there on about three or four nights while we were there. I could not get photos of the pumps but the landlord passed the pump labels to me.

Crouch Vale, Brewers Gold from England

4.0% gold colour with a nice head, low in aroma but hight in taste, I got honey, vanilla and some hops.

Slaughterhouse, Saddleback from England

3.8% amber colour with a nice head, quite an ordinary bitter, which is very refreshing after all these hoppy beers lately.

Slaughterhouse, Space Trotter from England

4.3% amber in colour with a nice head, fruity aroma and slightly sweet malt taste, not a bad beer at all.

Merry Monkey, Scrumpy

4.5% ordered this by accident, only drank half and gave the rest to Dot.

I am sure I had more than this but I may have missed them from the camera, well any excuse to go back.

Beers in Warwick, part one

Over the past couple of weeks we have been away on holiday, first in Warwick and then on to a cabin just outside Thirsk. I bought many beers while away but they are still in bottles to drink, so to start for now, I will cover the draught beers I had in Warwick and London.

Allsop Arms, Best Bitter from England

3.9% amber colour with a good head, decent aroma and taste, not too bad. The Allsop Arms is pub in Marylebone London, not sure if this was a new beer or just a mock up.

Green King, Magna Carta from England

5.0% amber colour with a nice head, fruity aroma and taste, not too bad, also from The Allsop Arms.

Church End, Goats Milk from England

3.8% gold colour with a nice head, hoppy aroma and taste, I am a bit tired of all these hoppy beers.

North Cotswold, Shagweaver from England

4.5% gold colour with a nice head, I think that these hoppy beers are starting to get to me, it was just ok.

Byatt's, XK Dark from England

3.5% dark brown in colour with a nice head, fruity roasted malt aroma and a very similar taste.

Wood Farm, No. 8 from England

5.0% amber colour with a nice head, not much aroma, some fruit in the taste.

Wood Farm, Best Bitter from England

4.2% gold colour with a good head, pretty ordinary bitter but saying that not too bad.

More to follow from Warwick soon.
