Cherry, dark chocolate, marzipan and vanilla marshmallow. Boozy aftertaste and thick mouthfeel finishes a lovely stout. #Stouturday Secret Santa Cheers 🍻 #BSkyBeer

Get the honeycomb early, chocolate follows but doesn’t stick around for too long. Creamy mouthfeel. I know it’s low alcohol, but it feels too light. #Stouturday Cheers 🍻

Making space for my Northern Monk delivery. Light, sweet and balanced hops and malt. Session enough for a school night. Cheers 🍻

Creamy chocolate and cherry, lightness from low alcohol brings the cherry sweetness to the fore. Daughter Christmas pressie #Stouturday Cheers 🍻

Boozy dark dry chocolate and maple stout.. Smooth and boozy warmth in the mouthfeel. I’m taking this one steady. Cheers 🍻

The Board of Peace!

Chocolate and vanilla stout, nice enough, but a bit thin so flavours don’t last long enough. Cheers 🍻

Asked back in 2019 about reports of his work with Steve Bannon, Boris Johnson described them as “the biggest load of codswallop I have ever heard.” His spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment following the publication of Bannon's messages to Epstein confirming the relationship

Four new ones from @craftboozeco.bsky.social and one from B&M Got to look around the new Craft bar for Normanton, under construction, safe to say I can’t wait. Some exciting plans. Cheers 🍻

More chocolate than cherry, which is ok. The chocolate is dark and dry and lasts well into the aftertaste. Lovely stout, glad I got 2. Cheers 🍻

This report implies that 'Andrew' may have broken the Official Secrets Acts (& I wonder if the same could be possible of Mandelson?) and if so I wonder whether that, rather than 'Misconduct in Public Office' might, in both cases, form the basis of a prosecution? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’ 1/

😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠 Funny how the media is baying for the blood of one man, but nods through this b’stard!

Lovely stout. I get the burnt sugar and honeycomb first and the caramel and vanilla in the follow up. Dry and dark instead of sweet. #Stouturday Cheers

Deafening silence…

Hoppy hazy and dank triple dry hopped. Lasting piney taste. Lovely drop. Cheers 🍻

Roasty dark cinder toffee, creamy chocolate underneath, and an easy drinking 6% #Stouturday Cheers 🍻

Couple from tonight both zeros. Strawberry pop has followed a clean and bitter lager. Both very nice. Cheers 🍻

Learned today that my Blood goes to Neonatal baby units. I am CMV negative, with around 40% of the population. It also means that I get a swanky NEO tag 😂 Another good reason to #GiveBlood

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

Refreshing slightly sweet and limey shandy. Cheap from Home Bargains 79p or £1.20 for 2 😎 Cheers 🍻

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

Sweet mixed fruit, close your eyes and it’s Lilt. Balancing the sweetness with some salty dried squid 😋 Cheers 🍻

Peach over a fruity base, nice enough for a zero. Cheers 🍻

Happy New Year to all that I clutter their timelines… Getting this in before Australia start their celebrations, February 2025, I climbed that 😎 #HappyNewYear

It’s not terrible, don’t know if it’s this or the Terrys Chocolate Orange Mint that tastes fake… Cheers anyway 🍻 (I’d go for the previous Red version)

JUST GOING TO LEAVE THIS HERE. 🤔

Warming berries and strange energy drink vibe… Might just be that it’s my first in a long time 😂 I mean the corner shop was forcing it into my hand at 99p. Cheers 🍻

Low to No alcohol Christmas present beers from my eldest daughter. Not really had a proper drop for a while, but don’t want this to become the norm 😂 🍻

Merry Christmas to all my followers and those yet to follow. 🎅 🍻

Just unwrapped my work Secret Santa gifts… I think it’s fair to say that I am so easy to buy for. Also, the Ossett brewery stouts look like bangers 😎

And may every day be another wonderful secret.

Watery, and not much going on, was expecting more from the Gnomes. Still on my painkillers so low to no alcohol . Cheers anyway 🍻

Still in my painkillers 😕 A funny sweetness seems to have taken the place of the booziness, a bit weird. Malty and golde. Cheers 🍻

Still on painkillers so as close to a beer as I can get. Birthday meal with family for youngest daughter. 🎂🍻 Cheers

To wash away the hot Nando’s sauce. Third and final humiliating RL test at Headingley incoming… Light and citrus taste, zero alcohol as a motorcycle accident and painkillers do that to you. Cheers 🍻

Wee top up (probably not needed) for #Stout season from Sainsburys. Very helpfully had 4 I’ve not had on their 4 for 3 😂

Somehow tastes like the best stout ever… Must be where I am drinking it. #UTFT Cheers 🍻

Cold and wet, lager innit 🤷‍♂️ Cheers from the Rugby 🍻

My two for the night, early start to Everton for the Rugby tomorrow . Light sweet and malty, Standard and mildly bitter Cheers 🍻

Oh dear. There is no difference. Both Tory and Reform are peddling racism for votes. Pochin *and* Jenrick were racist and twisting yourself into an ugly knot to try to claim otherwise is just a collapse of your own dignity as well as your morality.

Sweet banana and very light. Cheers 🍻

ReFuk Election vote catching: “We’ll make efficiency savings and cut your taxes” ReFuk reality “No we aren’t. We lied”.

Working out the Rouble-Sterling conversion rate

Malty light and smooth a bit more body to this one. Paired with a cheese topped pretzel, I mean they are nearly twins… Cheers 🍻

Light start to the #Ashes2025 🦁🆚🦘 Seeet and hoppy, light body. Cheers 🍻

Another @givebloodnhs.bsky.social donation done. And I’m on a 3 time after-donation streak of TUC sandwiches 😎 #GiveBlood #Horbury #Snacks

This from Terry Christian is absolutely spot on.
