For #BSkyBeer: Mango Jaipur. 5.9% A good beer, but lacking almost any fruit flavour. A bit of a disappointment.

The Premier League’s impossible predicament
As the dust settles on reports that the Premier League has won its case against Manchester City, attention is turning to what punishment could await the club. It is unclear what stage the proceedings…

Michael Wynn Jones was a gentleman. I had the pleasure of speaking to him several times, and he loved the club. Love to Delia and their family. #ncfc

For #BSkyBeer: As it’s autumn now, best get back to the porters and stouts. Starting with Northern Monk’s Heaven chocolate and maple stout. Lovely, and a bargain too. Delivered on the chocolate taste too

For #BSkyBeer: Gouden Carolus Cuvee van de Keizer Imperial Blond. 10.0% ABV. One of the last bottles from our trip to France. Full of flavour, and yet light enough to enjoy the whole bottle. I like this a lot, but have fewer braincells now. 9.5/10 Lively when poured, and some time after.

Today is #HobbitDay because Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were both born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚

A surprise at Streatley (W. Berks) today. After not finding any of the earlier autumn gentians this year, this lone, rare chiltern gentian (gentianella germanica) has defied the odds to bloom in the later more favourable weather. #wildflowerhour

The verdict: they're definitely different beers but also VERY close relatives. Firstly, per bottles, Petrus = 8% while Forbel = 8.4%. Second, Forbel is ever so slightly sweeter. But differences are minimal & one could be excused for thinking they're one & the same. They're not, but it's very close!
