March trip to York, One, 2018

For my birthday, we had a few days in York (not unusual) and had a few new draft beers, although on the first day I had beers I have had before, they had just changed the labels. So I will start on the second day of our trip away and to fit it all in, I have also had to split the drinks from this trip into two parts.

Another thing is that I did not bother taking my camera out with me, so all of the photos are taken with my phone.

Part One

Camerons, Black Forest Gateaux from England

5.5% black in colour with a nice head, it had a nice stout and fruit aroma and a very nice slightly sweet fruity stout taste.

Some stouts I have had over the last few weeks have been wonderful and nothing like the stout that most people know, Guinness, witch has put me off stouts for years.
