Bent Næss: Happy New 2018 !
Ray Donnelly is drinking a Madame Cheron by Marble Beers Ltd at The Beer House
Much less acidic than many a barrel aged beer. Really smooth, a very good beer with a huge wine contribution. Seek it out. Got a 2nd for 12.

Ray Donnelly is drinking a Spiced Raisin Brown Ale by Fell Brewery at The Beagle
Smells like Xmas pudding in a glass but it's far too thin to qualify for that. More spice and a higher ABV would have helped here.

Ray Donnelly is drinking an A Tropical Chilli Night Out by Mad Hatter Brewing Company at The Beagle
Subtle chili flavour that builds up as you drink more. Bright yellow beer, slight custard taste (though that could be from Pam C's beer!)

Ray Donnelly is drinking a Vélodrome by SixºNorth at The Font
Juicy and a little bit spicy from the yeast. Hardly any bitterness.

Very thick, almost syrupy. Treacly with some sweetness from lactose. I feel like I'm just describing any imperial lactose Stout here though.
