Beer?

[No Ta Doctor]

Nearly four hours later, it was calm enough to open cautiously.😉 Nice, but why's it a pale colour and not dark, like you'd expect a stout to be?🤔

White stouts were a bit of a fad a while back, but given it's a white chocolate stout I guess they thought they'd bring it back ?

I often find black lagers/IPAs and white stouts really disappointing, as there's a disconnect between what the eye sees and the tongue tastes. I had a whisky that was aged in a charred barrel as well once, which was disappointingly thin and weedy while it's dark colour suggested depth and warmth

The Belgian Cafe in Eastbourne ...

Top marks to them, they welcomed me on a wet afternoon, allowing me to bring my bike into the bar.

Nice pint of Saison ... 🍺👍
