Decided that I'd earned a quick one after a long day and cracked one of these open, very nice and smooth. Slight smokiness and a sweetness to but not sure I could distinguish plum. Would have again.

Signed. Need to protect the little fish before they have a chance to become a middle sized fish let alone a big one.It's worth signing this:
Archived Petition: Reverse the change to Small Brewers Relief.
The Treasury has announced changes to Small Brewers Relief (SBR) – the progressive tax system that has revolutionised UK brewing. These changes will reduce the 50% duty threshold from 5,000hl to 2,100hl: small breweries will have to pay more duty, whilst larger breweries could pay the same or less.petition.parliament.uk
In short, the bigger breweries (Timothy Taylor's, Harvey's etc) are making the smaller breweries pay more tax.

Just found it, then got banned. Such a shame.
I’m struggling with that third paragraph.
Seems unlikely I know but he was genuinely one of the most humane, honourable, humble and ethical people I've ever known. Born and bred in Liverpool, socialist to his core, recipient of numerous medals and commendations for naval service during WW2. LFC fan all his life, long time match-goer, was at Heysel, never attended another match after, he was getting on a bit then but I don't think he ever really felt the same way about football after that. He watched them on the box and was happy enough when they did well but was also the first to point out their faults. Always had the utmost respect for Everton and congratulations and healthy ribbings would be exchanged on derby day. He was a good man and I loved him dearly.
I can only imagine what he'd make of them having an 'official grooming partner'.
Back on topic, he loved his ale did me grandad

I had one last night. It was nice but not as nice as I'd hoped that it would be. I suspect it was reflected in the price point as for an Impy and a 440ml can £4.20 was relatively cheap compared to others of a similar style. I suspect the BA stuff will be superior and am going to try and get some later.
Bit of style over substance maybe?

Bought some of these earlier
I had a great Iron Bru sour on tap from Vault City earlier in the year, brought a bottle back with me. Be interested to know what that pineapple/chilli one is like.
The VBM sounds immense.
Tesco are doing mahoosive bottles of Karmeliet for a fiver:
And that Duvel was £2.50, think I paid over a fiver for that in a posh offy a few years back.

Wow, the Iron Bru sour sounds very interesting!
The Pineapple/chilli sour was lovely. a big upfront hit of pineapple with the refreshing sourness you'd expect, then a warmth from the chilli. I consume lots of chillies so personally would have liked a bit more heat but my tastes would probably be a bit overpowering for most. Would buy again.
VBM is up there with best Impy's for me. Absolutely delicious with just the right amount of Bourbon for the BA version. It is a should try if like imperial stouts.
Was talking with some friends, we all have wayyyy too many BIG stouts in our closets/refrigerators. When it gets anything resembling "cool" here we are going to do a big backyard bottle share. I have stouts aged in Pappy barrels, CBS, mega stouts from a good brewery here. Just way too much, need to start downsizing them.
