Happier diner Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Just now, jackwhite said: Wasn't actually aware. Tried enough O'Kells to know I don't think I'd like any of them. Would appear Nelson Sauvin is used in at least the Olaf, Maclir, Saison and Bitter. Helpfully, some of the other beers just have the one ingredient listed, water! Fuggles in IPA I think.

Happier diner Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 We went in last week. It was pretty good. Pros Great choice of beers. Really friendly guy. Cons It was cold with the door open. You feel like you are in a shop window. Poor choice of wine. Second hand and scruffy furniture. We will go back again because the craft beer was so exciting 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good coffeee eventually, second visit, not so good! Changed their coffee I guess? Why? What is a ' Cortado' Kopek? Is it a type of expresso or something else?

Think those big windows on the front are great but also get what you mean. I'm there now and they have three choices of white and 5 reds. Wouldn't say it's high end wine but I don't drink it when out, so doesn't fuss me. Fair comments all the same. All that said at least you'd go back and they definitely have a great choice of beers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty reasonable too £4 and were on 4 for 3 deal. I'm not very familiar with stouts and ales but this looks interesting... Hope its just a note of fudge and not actually sweet As a noob to the way these are manufactured, how do they add the flavours to this?

TheTeapot Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Oh, some of those are crazy sweet. I've had a couple that were almost offensive, probably tiny rebel ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emesde Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Some of these very sweet and strong beers have been around for a long time. Back in the mid 1980s, was involved with the Bristol Beer festival and was introduced to a beer from Eku. {I think it was Eku 28} sold at the time as the strongest beer in the world. It came out of the bottle like ketchup, very sweet and not to my taste at all. I think it was around 13% so around 3 times stronger than my usual tipple. Beers {bitters} around 4 to 5 % suit my taste buds better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple caramel peanut butter stout or some such nonsense. White Hag are bad for it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will definitely go back because I liked it. However my missus is more likely to be up for going back if; It's warm and There is some better wine. I hope my comments are constructive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
