As cans go, Brewdog Black Heart is a decent drink.

it’s alright as a session option. You’ve got Guinness, then that, Camden & Forge that are trying to cater to the mass market. As it stands, I’d probably choose the BeewDog if I were buying cans, but there’s not much between them. I know (or that’s my opinion) cos I did a taste test between the 4 of them one night :lol:

In terms of any cans sub 7%, is rarely by a craft beer now. Price vs quality of session stouts doesn’t add up for me. I’m usually left disappointed by them & paying 3/4 times the price of the ones I’ve mentioned. I might have the ones that are in the supermarket cos they’re priced cheaper & it’s a tick on the owld untapped

I’ll give it a go, but I’m guessing it’ll be overly sweet & synthetic tasting. The new Brewdog Rocky Road was canny shite.

Sainsburys have got a couple of new ones in too. A peanut butter & jelly stout, which sounds shite, but a one I’ve had before was decent enough. That might have been Northern Monk actually.

It’s surprisingly good tbh.

You have missed out London Black, which trumps all of them.

Did the Microbus and had a couple of glorious impys from Fierce. (Bought all the tins too). Now in Blues. Had a couple of superb Brown ales from Track (i know, not a stout). Next up rockie road stout from Siren.

Happy Internatuonal Stout Day!

I got a couple of stouts in Sainsbury’s after seeing your thread earlier. Northern Monk Peanut Butter & Jam and a Tiny Rebel Doughnut Glaze something or other. Hopefully the Tiny Rebel one is better than their usual shite.

Most supermarket gear isn't too clever tbf so fingers crossed. TR often go too sickly these days. Mind Blues doing a TR tap takeover this month. Should be better offerings there. Atleast two or three I've not tried before.

Edit. They've got a cracking IPA on by Verdant. 9 notes a pint. And a couple of tremendous sours involving Vault City. The Timothy Taylor Northern Monk stout collaboration is rather pleasant too.

I’ll have the TR first - it’ll go down the sink if necessary and the NM can cleanse the palate, unless it’s like the Aunt Bessie’s abominations they did.

Had the NM stout in the Dun Cow couple of weeks ago, lovely roasty adjunct free cask.

Had the Beak/Finback impy stout the other day. Superb.

Doing the Mouse/Cat/Duck amongst others tomorrow in Newcastle, I have high hopes. Microbus next week I think, love that place.
