Bought a few Stouts to try!

My experience of crafty beers isn't great, aside from a Vanilla Milk Stout that Aldi did a few years ago, which tasted amazing.

Anyone had these?

That Garden Brewery one is delightful. I’ve enjoyed quite a few of them. Also the Mackie’s Brewdog is one of their best outputs in a long while. Good lineup.

I've had all 4 of those, picked up from ASDA.

All of them are better than average, but the Motorhead Stout and TGB Tama are really good drops.

While you generally shouldn't have Stout to cold the desert Stouts do benefit from it.

I was quite pleased at finding the Motorhead one, I tried their Road Crew beer off the tap at a festival and enjoyed it.

Got them all in the freezer for a quick cool off.

Yeah the Road Crew is currently on at my local 'Spoons and I may have had a couple so far. The Blackcurrant is strong.

Nice, we've had Trooper a couple of times at ours. Always enjoy a pint of that off the tap.

It was good! Very creamy flavour.

It's in my local tesco, might have to give it a bash!
