So, most of us drink beer.
Always enjoying trying new beers.
Tonight, I'm sitting down with a Dark Knight porter made by Murray's.
A nice drop. Not too heavy, like some darker brews and it doesn't necessarily have to be cold to drink it.
Has a bit of a licorice taste.
Really enjoying it.
Was part of a four pack of different beers I bought from Murray's Brewery, near Port Stephens near Newcastle.
Also drank a Murray's Whale Ale tonight, very nice. But not my favourite pale around. Was a bit
darker than your average pale too.
Over to you guys.

Fat Yak Ale.
Aromatic and seriously addictive. Goes down real easy. Some ales can weigh you down a bit, this is not one of those.
9/10. Loses a point for not being 375ml.

I've been drinking a bit of that lately too.
We were looking for something a bit different and that was it.
Very nice. I don't think I could drink it all of the time but it's great for a quiet beer, with a steak or bbq. Not necessarily a long sesh though.

Good topic DW.
I am one of those beer drinkers who has a fall back favourite ( Coopers Pale ) but most weekends I find myself trying something different.
Summer saw Miller Chill, Coopers Clear and Peroni get a touch up. Now the cooler nights have had Coopers Mild Ale and James Squire Pale Ale get a run.
Thanks DW, I'm thinking about my stop off at Dan Murphy's on the way home already.

Hahn Super Dry and Boag's Premium. I'm off the grog for a couple of months now, so won't be get to devour any for a while. I also get the occasional slab of Coopers Dark Ale.

No one is here to judge, but rating West End and VB as beers is too much to bear.

I had WED poured on my head one time after a game of footy...it took off a couple of layers of skin.

The Black Wattle Original Ale is an amazing beer, toasty goodness all through it, barely needs to be chilled at all. A genuine winter rip snorter.
The ESB is pretty damn good too.
