Beer at the Victoria.
I havwe mainly been drinking Dawkins Brass Knocker, a blonde hoppy beer, but due to worldwide shortages of Cascade hops (of something) that's off at the moment. Last night I had a coupld of pints of Dawkins 66. Sold as their Best Bitter, I wasn't that keen on the idea - I prefer something with a bit more of a bite than the run-of-the-mill best. So I drank it, and I liked it. Darker, and a bit richer, than my usual tipple, it has sufficient depth and bite to be interesting.
Talking about interesting beers: Darkstar Smoked Porter. Nom. Available at the Victoria for the next few days, this isn't really a Porter (it's more a red), but it has the savoury tang with the maltiness of a great smoked beer. Well worth a try.
