I followed mine up with a Marston’s Old Empire… them promptly fell asleep.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I had a couple of bottles and really enjoyed them - might be a little sweet for any more than a couple at a time, but very nice flavour and aftertaste I thought.Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostI had some of that last night and thoroughly enjoyed it, did you chill it a little as the label recommends?
They were only very slightly chilled by virtue of being stored in the utility room for a couple of days.
Had a bottle of Old Crafty Hen the other night - very nice indeedOriginally posted by gingerjedi View PostI followed mine up with a Marston’s Old Empire… them promptly fell asleep.
