Went to a friends house for some "drinks in the garden" yesterday, I took a couple of beers for them to try. Both by Siren (my local craft brewery) On the left we have their breakfast stout aged in rum barrels with maple wood and on the right one of their coffee beers, "Affogato" not seen since 2018 but a delicious, creamy pale ale flavoured with a mellow roast and some interesting fruity hops. Both beers went down really well as an aperitif before we switched to wine and cheeses, although the stout did pair really well with some of the cheese too. For those more into their wine than their ale we sank a bottle of 2011 Chateau Gloria (St. Julien), that was pretty lush as well, drinking very well at nearly 10 years old. A thoroughly tasty evening!
