Nethergate White Stout....don't do it. Never poured beer down the sink until now. |  |

Sorry to any fans reading, but Hobgoblin Ruby (bottled) did that for me. For the first (& last I hope) time. Like drinking freshly dug peat concentrate. Suitable for Halloween though, very dark and deep.
At the other extreme, Scarborough Fair Wold Top - yum, 10/10 👍 |  |

I've had it once, what technically is a white stout? |  |

wasn't the clue in the words 'white stout'? |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

I have no idea but curiosity got the better of me on a Co-op 3 for £6 offer. Hopefully the other 2 are better. | |

A brewer in Liverpool seems to have taken it one step further and made a white stout with a black head (which must be added after)

No way you're getting that on draught. | |

Dark lagers are a very long-standing tradition. Not just Dunkels, but can be found all over Central and Eastern Europe.
The problem in the UK is we have been taught that lager (actually the process of maturing the beer*) is straw-coloured, sharp fizzy stuff which has to be drunk at as close to freezing temperature as possible. Which is really only one sector of that drink.
* Long and cool, due to protein differences between the barley historically grown in central Europe and that found in Britain. |  |

How do they get around the fact that the characteristic taste of stout is based upon Black Malt, which also imparts the very dark colour associated with them?
Chemical flavourings? Or is that why Bankster thought it tasted so nasty, lacking an essential ingredient? | |

Seems an expensive way of clearing your drains. Did it work? |  | | |

If you want a twist on the Scarborough Fair, there is a local distillery up there that matures it in used whisky casks for an interesting drink. Very nice, but very pricey.

Note I got it at the distillery a couple of years ago and it wasn't cheap, but definitely cheaper than £6 then! |  | | |

Hobgoblin was an incredible beer 20 years ago when it was still over 5% and brewed in Wychwood, as was Goliath from their range. Victim of its own success sadly. |  | | |

they add chocolate & coffee, sometimes vanilla pods to get the tastes you'd get from chocolate malt in a stout. I think the colour and the taste often confuse the senses as you expect it to look like a stout or taste like a golden beer and its the opposite.
I quite liked it when it was on cask, but bottles can always be tricky to get right and prone to more off flavour imperfections. Landlord is a classic of that genre, great on cask, usually terrible in bottles | | | |

Just looked at the note I made on it - "rusty medicine"! | |
