Proper Job (St Austell)

Name: Proper Job
Label: "Bottle Conditioned - Cornish IPA - Powerfully Hopped"
Brewery: St Austell Brewery
ABV: 5.5%

Tasting notes: "A 'proper' India Pale Ale, Proper Job is a strong golden ale that's powerfully hopped."

Game: This week we're playing Michonne - A Telltale Miniseries. Three episodes which are quick, punchy and slicey. Don't think it rated all that well at release but this was a Black Friday deal so it only cost £3 for the lot. And it's well worth £3 which is probably the same amount as a couple of loot boxes in other "games". Classic Walking Dead storytelling and it's well worth the three hundred pence.

Rating: 8 beheaded zombies out of 10

Admiral's Ale (St Austell)

Name: Admiral's Ale
Label: "I see no ships"
Brewery: St Austell
ABV: 5.0%

Tasting notes: "It was at St Austell Brewery's Blue Anchor Inn that the King's messenger, carrying news of victory at Trafalgar, first stopped for refreshment on his long journey from Cornwall to London.200 years later, Admiral's Ale was brewed in Cornwall to celebrate the bicentenary of Nelson's famous triumph"

Game: So we're up to date with the Eaglemoss Alien and Predator Figurine Collection deliveries and this last one is a biggie. Issue 9 Berserker Predator Figurine. He looks badass, sticking his middle finger blade up at you like he just doesn't give a hoot.

Rating: 9/10

Cornish Ale (St Austell)

Name: Cornish Ale
Label: "Classic ale brewed with Cornish spring water."
Brewery: St Austell
ABV: 4.9%

Rating: "This bottle conditioned ale has been uniquely brewed using locally grown Cornish gold malt, traditionally malted using a special kilning process to develop a deep bronze colour and intense flavour. The sweet, lightly nutty malt balances well with zesty orange and spicy aromas from the hops."

Game: Quick! Pre-order a Wii U now!! That's what the email marketing campaigns from my favourite games retailers are telling me to do. The question is... will it be any good? What about Xbox 720's 'holodeck'? How many consoles is it ok to own? So many questions and so much apathy.

Cornish IPA (St Austell)

Name: Cornish IPA

Rating: "This well balanced hoppy beer compliments fish and chips and spicy dishes." I want fish and chips right now. Thanks for nothing, bottle label.

Game: Dark Souls is up to its usual tricks again of letting you get past a certain bit and making you think how ace you are only to then crush you with its crushing difficulty. I'm also a bit stuck on Darksiders 2 as well thanks to some very Portal-esque portal-y puzzles. Maybe I'm getting too old for gaming and it calls for a younger, keener, fitter mind..?
