[Closed] Dark Beers..

Some crackers up above. Tempest Red Eye Flight and Chipotle porter are great. Mikkeler Texas Ranger is awesome as is the Beer Geek Brunch Weasel.

Cromarty beers are almost all good. Brewed Awakening and the new Ghost Town Porter are great (Rogue Wave is the only one I'm not keen on).

If you want to try dark and smokey I like this one.

My favourite of all the wonderful Northamptonshire ales

Another Acorn Brewery - Old Moor Porter, lovely.

I love dark beers me. Hobgoblin is a favourite, Dark Lord is nice, Black sheep obviously.

Loads of great beers been suggested, but my favorite beer of all time is Old Peculiar served by a grough Lakland bloke, supped by the fire in the ODG after a day walking / climbing in Langdale. Bliss!

Cheers,
Jamie

A number of years ago, a friend and I decided last minute to do a winter 3 peaks (yorkshire). We headed over on the Friday night and were about to head to bed early in our B&B after a quick pint of OP, when in walked a dozen girls on a hen night. Bearing in mind this was a miserable February night in a tiny b&b in the Dales, we thought we'd hit the jackpot!

Long story short, we stayed up drinking with them until about 3am. I'd had about 10 pints of OP (!!!) and awoke to my alarm at 6am. After emptying my stomach of OP and the room of two "guests", we decided (still drunk) to crack on with our adventure.

25 miles and 11 hours later, I arrived back at the B&B a broken man. I think I sobered up on top of Penyghent, in a whiteout, and realised what a silly idea it was 🙂

I love OP!

😆 Nice one Peter, what a great story! Getting anything done after that much OP, left alone the 3 Peaks is a great achievement!

Cheers,
Jamie

I'd be dead for a week if I drank 10 pints of anything never mind OP.

mogrim, I've had that somewhere recently. It was good! Estrella do a dark beer too IIRC don't they?

Most of the Spanish brands are starting to make them. The Carrefour variety isn't bad, either, certainly has a bit more flavour than the usual lager.

Waen's Chilli Plum Porter was tasty, just a gently buzz on the tongue!

Einstock's toasted porter is yummy.

Acorn Brewery Gorlovka or Old Moor Porter, award winning beers

Slightly biased as my mate owns the brewery, if ever in Barnsley Old No 7 is a proper pub with a good range of both Acorn beers and Guests

OP seems to have changed its recipe since the mid '90's, I swear it had more of a sweeter taste than it does nowadays, although that could be down to my tastebuds maturing I suppose.

Im a big fan of Youngs Double Chocolate Stout and Fuller Black Cab Stout is wonderful.
I've struggles to find a Porter I really like, either i've never had a truly good one (unlikely) or its just a style that hasn't clicked with me. I'll keep trying in the interests of research though....

So for tonight I have got these..Best I could do, with running around trying to sort out a bathroom..The Innis and Gunn is complex to say the least ( yes i have cracked one open at 5 pm 😀 )

+1 for Ringwood Old Thumper. Easy to get as most Supermarkets sell it and a bit more 'approachable' since they dropped the ABV from 5.6 to 5.1

For those local to delamere, Frodsham brewery does some cracking dark beers
Night Mail and Iron Man are personal faces.

I did wander who took that picture.
I can't remember taking it but found it on my phone the next morning. 🙂

I had a couple of sneaky mid-afternoon pints of this... very nice.

£1.05 a bottle. Surprisingly nice.

Was going to have a JDC night, but I think I may have been dissuaded.

That Augustiner Dunkel up there^^^ is very nice indeed.

Youngs Double Choc, and Innis+Gun Rum Finish round out my top 3 beers on untappd.

Off to see what local beers I can find...

Sadlers Mud City Stout is beautiful stuff, over 6% as well so you know when you've drunk it.

Just finishing off a revisionist dark India pale ale! Made by marsdens for tescos... Actually not bad, wish I'd got another.

alanf-it has to be the Old No 7,it's the only place to drink in Barnsley 😆
