Friday is here and I’m parched! Well ready for a beer! Guy has re-brewed his liquorice and blackcurrant stout and tweaked a few things. One for supping, one for warming up… This is tasting delicious! More body and less watery, noticeable straight away. Less bitterness. More silky and roastiness more pronounced. Fruity and earthy to boot. Just a lovely beer.

The weekend has landed in the form of a an oatmeal liquorice stout. Super fresh and tasting good, this will only get better with age. Fruity, slight tang of bitterness, quite smooth and very easy drinking. Liquorice comes through at the end. This would have done really well as a stout to have throughout the summer. My local brewery is very small and a cask of this wouldn’t shift in the summer. It’ll shift now though, happy weekend! 👍
