Beers to note - May 2017

So I forgot to post my beers to note for May 2017, so here they are.

1936 Bière (Brauerei Locher) - 4.7% | Bottle 330ml
This is always a beautiful Swiss beer. It has a beautiful smooth taste, which may be due to the water filtering down through the Alps.




Gale's HSB (Fullers) - 4.8% | Cask Pint
This is a solid strong bitter which I consider miles better than the Fuller ESB. I understand Gales had quite a few good beers but it seems the only ones to survive were Seafarers and HSB.





Curiously Dark Mild (Millis) - 3.6% | Cask Pint
A wonderful dark mild that didn't have too much of a malt hit, but was smooth and tasty. Session qualities throughout even being a dark beer during a warm May.





Winter Welcome Ale 2016 - 2017 (Sam Smith) - 6.0% | Bottle 550ml
I'd been looking for this beer for a while and it took till May to find it. Though outside of the cold season I wasn't going to give this beer a miss. It was slightly chilled which enhanced the malts. Slight hop taste but none of the expected alcohol taste or burn you might expect from some strong winter ales.


Peanut Butter Milk Stout (Tailgate) - 5.8% | Can 330ml
I happened across this beer and though not normally a fan of anything peanut butter I thought, why not give it a go, and I'm glad I did. Has a peanut butter nose and the taste is spot on. Stout with peanut butter is amazing.


Velveteen (Dark Revolution) - 4.8% | Keg Pint
A sweet nose on this milk stout, with a slight bitterness to the taste. It doesn't taste so milk stout but its still good.
