Some cans I have had for ages

I have not been out much over the last couple of weeks but that doesn't mean that I haven't had anything to drink. I have been getting through some of the beers I have had in the fridge for ages. The first two are cans, both fairly strong ones and both from our last visit to France.

Castelain, Dagsbier Biere Forte from France

7.0% gold in colour with a good head, it had a mild aroma and a strong taste of alcohol. It was the same as Karlsberg, Dagsbier Bière Forte from Germany only 1% weaker

Belle France (Saint-Omer), Bière Spéciale Blonde Extra Forte from France

8.0% gold in colour with a good head, the aroma was of alcohol and tin but it had a smooth strong taste.

Yet Another Local Small Pub

There seems to be about four of these newish small bars in Billingham, this is the third one we visited and it is the oldest one. The Green Hops had been open for a couple of years now, I just never got around to visiting it before.

First we visited the one from last week, The Porky Pint but they had no new beers, although last night they did.
