Sam Smiths do a fantastic chocolate stout.


It's really chocolatey.


They sell it at Hop Burns and Black :)


Oh maybe I'm not allowed to post on this thread, sorry :))

I've recently encountered - and very much enjoyed - chocolate beer, coffee beer, chilli beer and smoked beer (the best being the 'Dirty Stop Out' smoked oatmeal stout by Tiny Rebel Brewery of Wales). The more variety the better i say - my current fave is the Tiny Rebel 'Cwtch' - an amber/red ale with a bitter, spicy, malty and - yes - tropical fruity thing going on. Delicious.

Coincidentally I had one of these yesterday. Good flavour - but I'd go along with the complaints above that a lot of *strokes chin* 'craft' stuff is over-gassed.. and thought this one was as well.

No harm in looking for fresh perspectives on this subject.

    • The Cornish Gouda was featured in an early episode of 'Rick Stein's Cornwall'. It's actually made by a Dutch family who moved here. The series is being repeated on BBC2 at the moment, so it's probably available on the iPlayer. Cheese Block stock a great 'Old Amsterdam' aged Gouda, if you can bring yourself to go in, or M&S do one made with Jersey milk. I've never found the Cheese Block all that grumpy. I think they just get a bit frustrated when it's busy and people don't know what they want. It's not ideal, but I try to go in when it's quiet if I'm undecided, and they're almost friendly. Here's a link to the Rick Stein show. It'll be available soon, apparently. Hopefully it'll help you track down the Gouda.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000qzxr  
    • It’s Mons all the way for us. Super friendly. And they know their customers . They even asked me why I bought so much Comté. LOL. This is the cheese from my area in France  and I eat it without thinking. I LOVE their Fourme  d’Ambert, one of the oldest cheeses in France. Much creamier than Roquefort and much cheaper too. Also love their selection of goats cheese - and the fact that they regularly discount cheeses that have ripened a bit too much, which is how I like my cheese. Been lobbying them to make Fromage Fort, which is a hit like potted cheese. You take old leftover cheeses and ferment them in white wine. If other Burgundians are in the area, please join the lobbying effort.  Heritage cheese used to sell an absolutely amazing Gouda from Cornwall and I really enjoyed this but they’ve stopped selling it.  Can’t comment on Cheese Block - so grumpy in there I’ve stopped going in. Perhaps I’m missing out.       
    • Yes, but I remember it fromages ago.
