Pumps over the last couple of weeks.

It was our birthdays over the last couple of weeks and although most things went wrong over this time, we did manage to have a few new beers.

Fyne Ales, Vital Spark from Scotland

4.4% deep brown in colour with a nice head, fruit and malt aroma, the taste is a slightly watery malt.

Electric Bear, Howdy Ho from England

5.1% brown in colour with a nice head, not mutch aroma, the taste was interesting but ok.

Durham, Black Bishop from England

4.1% almost black in colour with a good head, nicee stout aroma and a slightly fizzy but nice stout taste.

Great Heck, Mercy from England

4.0% gold colour with a nice head, it was one of those hoppy beers, too hoppy for me.

Sonnet 43, The Raven Bourbon Milk Stout from England

4.3% black in colour with nice head, nice sweet aroma and a good sweet but stout taste.

Last from our first trip to France 2016

I think that these may be the last of the beers I got while on the first holiday in France this year, there may be one or two more but we will have to see later. Some of these where drunk back home but some where drunk in France, anyway they were all bought over there.

Gayant, La Goudale Ambree from France

 

7.2% amber in colour with a thin head, some caramel in the aroma and not a bad taste at all.

Saint Germain, Page 24 IPA from France

 

4.9% amber colour with a thin head, it was quite nice and not really an IPA at all.

Saint Germain, Page 24 Irish Stout from France

 

3.9% black in colour with a thin head. light roasted aroma, taste is light roast but with a watery finish.

St-Feuillien, Saint Graal from Belgium

 

8.0% hazy gold colour with a good head, sweet aroma and a strong fizzy taste, very strong.

Brasseries de Bourbon, Bourbon from Réunion Island (France)

 

5.0% gold in colour with a thin head, there was some grass in the aroma and the taste was quite nice.
