This post is gonna be even shorter than the last. I'm still typing on an Android tablet.
Stringers is a brewery based in Ulverston, Cumbria. Again this is a Lake District souvenir of sorts.
Imagine Leffe Brun but water down the flavour a bit. Keep the high ABV (it's 7%) and turn the drink partially cloudy. You're THERE!
I know it's bottle conditioned and I did pour carefully. I did stand it in the fridge first. But it won't settle! For that reason, despite it being a basically pretty decent beer it's been busted down to a rating of 7 barrels.
Good night!

Tsarry Night Imperial Russian Stout
This blog needs no explanation. I drink real ale. Here are my thoughts.
Though this is my first entry to the blog, I'm gonna keep it short (I'm typing with a stylus on an Android keyboard).
Tsarry Night is from the Hesket Newmarket Brewery, Cumbria. I picked up a bottle on a recent visit to the Lake District - the main selling point was the abv of 7.5%... And you can taste it!
It pours like melted chocolate. It's a traditional style stout, apparently supplied to the Russian Court in the mid 19th Century.
When I drink it, I get the coffee/liquorice/smokey taste you expect from a good stout. Mostly, however, it's that strength that is overpowering. For me that's not a bad thing; imagine it as wine.
Beer barrel rating: 8 barrels (out of a possible 10).
Enjoy!
