    The ilkley brewery mayan chocolate chipotle stout.

    A definite kick of chilli in this, with smooth chocolate-y malts.

    I like the chocolate milk stouts more and more. Perfect for a "just one" kind of night

    I had a youngs double chocolate stout at the weekend, was the best of a bad bunch of craft type beers I had in wales.

    Was very chocolatey and silky going down, was nice.

    Jusy checked my notes and had one called Beacons Brewhouse Chock-y-Wocky too, which was really good if you come across it.

    Had a bottle each of a Evil Ying and Yang tonight. Actually had 2/3's of each and then 2/3's combined. The IPA is a bit meh, the Stout nice enough, but the two combined really works. Like a super smooth hoppy imperial stout of a nice black IPA.

    Old local doing a fiver a bottle of Kinnegar Rustbucket Rye Ale, funny as I was thinking on the way up I'd pay them a fiver to buy some of their off license beers to drink inside. Very nice stuff

    In the carpenter btw

    Up in Belfast today, tried a Farmageddon IPA and I found it lovely. Seriously cloudy, which I thought looked great.

    Their porter is great. Really reminded me of McGrath's stout - a similar yeasty sourness behind the sweetness of the malt.

    They had a Dark Ale too that looked good.

    Tried Dungarvans new Mine Head American Pale Ale. Tastes very similar to some of their other beers especially their Mahon Falls Rye Pale Ale.

    It's good but not great. Has a earthy, nutty flavour that works well in the rye pale ale but not so much in this. It's dry hopped with cascade but you don't really get much of the aroma or flavour of the hops.

    At €3.85 a bottle there is much better out there for the price.

    I find Dungarvan beers to have a very similar profile across the board. They don't all taste the same by any means but they all have an intense earthy, yeasty flavour to them that's pretty easy to pick out.

    Litovel, Czech dark beer.

    Wonderful stuff, cheap as fook too. Lovely smooth, full malty flavour. Everything you want from the style, basically.

    Brewdog Mashtag 2014. Hmmm, it's like a fruity 5AM Saint but without the upfront resinous hops. It's nice but it's not mind blowing. Hides the 9% well though.

    Had Sierra Nevada Kellerweis last night. Really great beer, tasted to me like 75% German Wheat beer and 25% Belgian Wit Bier. Very tasty.

    Two cans of 475 ml Sierra Nevada Torpedo, which at €3.79 in O'briens is far better value than €3.69 for 355ml in the same shop. Thought the taste was just as good from the can. A brilliant IPA
