Damn, this nc=xx thing makes one read a lot of LJ.
I've decided to write about everything in the Wall of Beer as I drink it. Today I had;
Fuller's 1845 - this is bottle-conditioned, spicy, dark, superb stuff. It's a shame it's expensive, but luckily I picked up a bunch when Safeway were selling all their bottled beer at 2/3 the normal price - I made two trailer runs and discovered I can carry more than four dozen in trailer and panniers, which is the whole reason I have a Wall of Beer in the first place. This is probably my favourite of all the bottled beer readily available to me, and has been for some time.
Hopback Summer Lighting in bottles (also bottle-conditioned) is OK, although it's the very devil to keep the sediment in the bottom - you're bound to get a brown patch on the head. It's good as light-coloured beers go, but that's not so much my thing these days - not that I would kick it out of my mouth.
[As an exception to that rule, City of Cambridge Hobson's Choice remains a beer I'll always have at least a pint of if it's available - this text taken from the "Alcoholism, Highly Specific" disadvantage in your favourite GURPS supplement.]
Last was Young's Double Chocolate Stout. Wednesday liked this, but I wasn't so keen - the beer flavour is basically drowned in this extraneous chocolate flavour. I know that's the idea, but it's not my thing.
