19th December 2011

Late again, I know. But at the weekend I drank three more beers from the book. This week I'll be heading back to my native Britain, so tune in next week for an English beer special. 

Gulden Draak (Belgium)

The Belgians seem to love strong beer. This one is 10.5% but doesn't taste at all toxic. Well done Belgium.

Midnight Sun (Scotland)

Not a bad porter, but the bar was set pretty high by the Anchor porter I had a few weeks ago, this wasn't as good as that. It's funny how all the British beers seem to have won some award or another though.

Old Tom Strong Ale (England)

In the words of my lovely girlfriend: "This tastes like it's going to give you diarrhoea". I didn't think it was as bad as that, but definitely not worthy of the title of "World's best ale" which it proudly boasts on the bottle, probably voted by the people who work in the brewery.
