Chinese food

Going to Jonathan and Lorianne's for tea (we are having Chinese food to calibrated their New Year) and much beer, although we will be avoiding Chinese beer (see below).  I will take six new beers with me and will see if Jon has got any new ones himself.  Well we are as soon as Dot gets home from work.

Reviews of the beer will follow tomorrow, call back then.

We Won

Feeling a bit better, we beat the Welsh 19 - 26, now drinking beer, did try vodka during the game but it made my pulse race.
Probably will not feel good tomorrow.

Not going out

Just cancelled Friday night out for this week, I have come over a bit shaky, so I am going to wrap up warm and stay in for a change.

Shopping

Just done the weekly shop at Tesco and filled the car with diesel (it has come down £0.03, so that's only £5.91/gallon).  No new beers in Tesco, so I just stocked up with cheap cans of Tetley's Original Bitter (not Smooth Flow) for everyday use.
Now I have to rest in preparation for tonight's Six Nations Rugby

Felinfoel, Double Dragon, Wales

4.2% deep amber colour with a thin head, fruity aroma, slightly sweet fruity taste.
Another one tonight, I had this one in for a while, it came in a boxed set from the Co-op and it wasn't a bad beer.

Sainsbury's (Shepard Neame), London Porter, England

5.0% black with a good brown head, roast malt aroma and taste easier to drink than stout . Made for Sainsbury's supermarket by Shepard Neame and it is a very good beer.
One of the beers I bought yesterday in Darlington

Cotleigh, Buzzard, England

4.8% dark brown colour with no head, good old beer aroma (yer, I don't know what that meant either) taste is dark fruits and roast malt, I like it.
It was bottle conditioned so that is probably why it had no head, as I pored it very carefully.
I bought this beer in a garden centre (strange place to buy beer I know) before Christmas and have just got round to drinking it.
