Strong Dark beers

Five Points Brewery’s Station Porter is damn fine, discovered it at OSLO the music venue under Hackney East station, the brewery is about ¼ mile from OSLO. It’s so good that my mate and I did the 200 mile round trip a couple of months later to try it again!
Actually that’s only slightly true, we got there to find the artist who’s gig it was had fallen ill a couple of hours before, so we went back for the rescheduled gig.
The range of beers and the food is almost good enough to make the visit worth while on its own, though.

Aberystwyth’s Purple Moose Brewery do a dark beer called ‘Dark Side Of The Moose’, which is also extremely more-ish, and Newport’s Tiny Ruin Brewery do one called Cwtch, which, as many know, means ‘cuddle’, and it is indeed like a cuddle in a glass!
Discovered that in the beer marquee at Greenman a couple of years ago, I was very disappointed when it ran out.

My favourites are Leffe Brun, Speights Old Dark and more recently Asahi Black

Enville Gothic if you’re ever down Stourbridge way.

Failing that Westvleteren 12 by mail order, doesn’t exactly fall into the cheap bracket but rude not to try it at least once if you like that style of beer.
