but I went for a Thornbridge Pollards – a 5% milk stout that has a amazing coffee aroma that tastes like cold coffee but milky – it’s stunning – I hope they bottle it.

It’s a collaboration with Thornbridge and Pollards Coffee Suppliers hence the name – if you can try it then just try it.

Picture from ratebeer as I did not managed to get a shot of the clip.

other notably beers this week but they could not compare to the Thornbridge for overall flavour.

Dark and Handsome

From boxsteam brewery (my first of there’s) a very drinkable and named after Brunel (or me 😉

Milestone Ole English ale

Another beer from a brewery I have not heard of.
