I don't really tick much nowadays. Still enjoy a decent beer just as much, along with the community that Ratebeer originally built.

I've not moved to that popular app and never will - It's become a monopoly which is having too much influence on today's craft beer scene.

It’s a nice place in what seems to have become a new modern London style. I like it. Wood floors, classic looking bar, but at the same time minimal and with plenty of natural light. Great beer selection and friendly service.

Bottle at home as a last treat before going traveling for a long time. It’s certainly going to be the best I get for a while! Pouts black with no head. You know just from the pour that this one’s going to have a nice thick body. Lots of barrel in the aroma. Cognac has never been my favourite to be honest, but at the same time it does make a change. Bourbon barrel is amazing but it’s a lot more common. Oaky barrel comes out along with fruity cognac, boozy notes, chocolate and vanilla. With appropriately taken smallish sips the alcohol is subdued but present in its warmth. Just as the pour suggests, it’s pretty thick, a little oily. Great body. Certainly some warmth in the finish. Another damn great Side Project BA Impy, that’s certainly no longer for the cellar.

Shockingly well hidden alcohol given that it’s 18%. Really good. Heavy wood presence with nuttiness, dark chocolate, vanilla and booze in a nice way.
