Twelve Days (Hook Norton Brewery)

Twelve Days (Hook Norton Brewery)
Name: Twelve Days
Label: "Strong, dark & rich - Handcrafted in the Cotswold Hills since 1849"
Brewery: Hook Norton
ABV: 5.5%

Rating: "Twelve Days is a strong dark brown beer, offering a dominantly malty palate with nutty overtones, giving way to a lyrical sweetness that speaks for its strength. It is a fine partner to the cheese board. Cheers!".  It's nearly Christmas, yay! Well... nearly December.. close enough.

Game: Finally!  My Hitman: Absolution pre-order arrived, only four days late but who's counting? (..narrows eyes and looks in The Hut's direction...).  So far so excellent though. I don't recall a previous gaming experience where you can murder a load of targets, then stroll out of the area disguised in a giant Charlie the Chipmunk suit, with the game still evoking an air of deadly seriousness and suspense. A work of art. 8/10

Hooky Gold (Hook Norton Brewery)

Name: Hooky GoldHooky Gold
Label: "Pale, gold & zesty - Brewed in Oxfordshire - Where progress is measured in pints"
Brewery: Hook Norton Brewery
ABV: 4.2%

Rating: Not had a beer for a few days so this hit the spot.

Game: 1000/1000 gamerpoints for Assassin's Creed 2. Still playing it even after 100% completion. That just shows how great this game is. DLC or Assassin's Creed 3 is now urgently required.  My awesome boxset: flickr.com/ass2.
