Stout.

Just en-route home as it happens, but have been to the Black Bull, though sadly not this time. Very good tip though.

I don't know where in the Lakes you are Simon but if you're within reach of Coniston give the Black Bull a try as they have their own brewery out back.

I do enjoy a good dark beer! A little late to the party, admittedly, but I did have a wonderful one up here in the Lakes last night. A pint of Robinson's Unicorn Black slipped down very nicely - a cracking stout.

Some excellent recommendations throughout this thread - big fan of quite a few, always pleased to see Hook Norton Double Stout on a pump at home.

My local shop Hop Burns and Black sell it (East Dulwich) but if that's too far for you then worth trying http://www.winecellared.com/range.html They've got a store in central Croydon and another in Sanderstead. Seems they also sell small cigars including some Cubans, though no idea if they'd be kept well.

Thanks HB, much appreciated![emoji106][emoji2]

Left Hand Brewing 'Milk Stout' is delicious. Creamy, slightly sweet but with coffee/roasted malts that keep the sweetness in check. It's a US import so not sure if anywhere national would stock it, but specialist beer bars/shops should have heard of it.

Nice one, I'll keep a look out.

Are they available from a supermarket @Wigan? Or off-licence ?

No I have only ever seen them at specialist places. There is a standard edition dark island you will see in the supermarket tho. Also look out for Orkney skull splitter

Can not recommend these two highly enough.

The only reason I won't buy again is cost but worth trying at least once

I've never really been a Stout or Porter drinker, always stuck to the ales.
That was until I stepped foot in the Scottish Real Ale Shop, where there were over 200 different Ales/Stouts/Porters. I can stongly recommend Midnight Sun, a 'rich, dark and spicy porter' and also Top Out, a 'smoked porter'.
