andy m. is drinking a Kapittel Winter by Leroy Breweries Boezinge
If there's one thing the Belgians like it's highly carbed, sweet n spicey Xmas beers. Once I read this had cherry in it it made a lot more sense.

This is out of date and tasting kind of not good. Won't rate or drink
andy m. is drinking a Ginger Bread Imperial Stout by The Chiltern Brewery
I am always intrigued by small batch stuff from the regionals. This is maybe a touch too sweet, but there is loads of ginger. Grew on me

andy m.: I suspect that served from cask it would be. This sort of thing always loses a bit in the bottle. Still rather good mind you.

Paul C.: Sampled this last festive season. Bloody awful!
andy m.: Just tastes like a basic fruity bitter, it's inoffensive to me. Maybe it's super fresh
Paul C.: Maybe I had a dodgy one!
andy m.: Judging by the ratings other people I know have given it, I don't think you did 😄
Matthew B.: It's no Rosey Nosey.
