2026 Clitheroe Beer Festival #2. The second of the festival is also the second strongest available and the second strongest I've had. I'm hoping the regular strength beers will help me sober up. It's booziest in aroma, then again at the end of its aftertaste, but in between vanilla and chocolate gets a very good lookin here, and it lingers. Black coloured stout.

2026 Clitheroe Beer Festival #11. Deeper slightly darker golden coloured ale. A bit of strength involved, but it's not dominant, sweet malt-hoppy for this special brew, ending in a bubblegum flavour.
