Dirty Stop Out (Tiny Rebel)

Dirty Stop Out (Tiny Rebel)
Name: Dirty Stop Out
Label: "Smoked Oat Stout"
Brewery: Tiny Rebel
ABV: 5.0%

Tasting notes: "Dirty Stop Out is our smoked oat stout that has all the characteristics of a heavy night out. Complex, dark, with hints of smokiness and perfume aromas. A blend of 9 malts matched up with a firmly hopped back bone make this a very self assured stout."

Game: Movie tie-in games weren't always shit you know.  GamingAles isn't a massive fan of retro games to be honest, what with the blocky simplistic graphics, wonky controls and heinous music and sound effects. HOWEVER, there were some absolute gems. Batman The Movie and The Untouchables to name but two. They were great even without the nostalgia effect... so without looking at them through ass-tinted glasses.  I liked them so much I wrote an actual "article" or "piece" about them and how they were way better than some of the more recent shite that was released for Xbox 360. So, this months feature article is Nostalgia vs Movie Tie-Ins.  I give this article 2/10.

Guinness Golden Ale

Guinness Golden Ale
Name: Guinness Golden Ale
Label: "Brewed with the finest hops, Irish barley and a specially selected amber malt - The Brewers Project"
Brewery: Guinness & Co
ABV: 4.5%

Tasting notes: "A group of enterprising brewers on a quest to explore new recipes, reinterpret old ones and collaborate freely to bring exciting beers to life. A beautifully balanced ale with a rich golden hue. The subtle biscuit flavours of the malted barley perfectly complement the pleasing bitterness and delicate, fruity hop aroma, giving way to a refreshing crisp finish."

Game: Hang on to your be-caped butts BatPeople, the 1989 movie pack for Batman Arkham Knight is out next week!  Yes, the one with the awesome new (old) Batmobile.  So far this THIRTY TWO quid season pass has bought me a one hour level of Batgirl, i.e. re-skinned Batman, #RippedOffFace (sounds painful - that was supposed to be like #sadface but more related to being ripped off financially, but it reads like something really violent, still valid I guess).
