Mr Trotter's Great British Chestnut Ale (Lancaster Brewery)

Name: Mr Trotter's Great British Chestnut Ale
Label: "Lovingly brewed for Mr Trotter by Lancaster Brewery Ltd"
Brewery: Lancaster Brewery
ABV: 4.0%

Rating: "Blending chestnuts with sweet Maris Otter barley has produced the hoppy harmony for which Mr Trotter was looking. The chestnuts give a nutty creaminess to the brew, a honied note to balance the alluring spiciness of the English Cascade and Bramling Cross Hops."

Game: In a thieving mood so back on Thief for a bit. Actually I was playing Dishonored on  Xbox 360 (rude not to as it was a free download) but the textures seemed so muddy and last-gen I thought I'd ditch it and play something on Xbox One.  Not sure if there were some huge texture pop-in delays or what. Thief is ace though, apart from the incredibly annoying-to-navigate city hub thing. Grrrr!

American Red Ale (Titanic Brewery)

Name: American Red Ale
Label: "A rich and warming British Brew - A rich and warming British brew"
Brewery: Titanic Brewery
ABV: 4.5%

Rating: "If the Titanic's fate had been different, Captain Edward Smith might have raised a glass of an ale like this one in celebration of his ship's arrival on American soil. Made with American hops and British malt, it's the perfect mid-Atlantic partnership, lovingly brewed by the Titanic brewery in Smith's Staffordshire birthplace. Full of rich flavour that's bound to warm your heart, it's the perfect tribute to a true British hero."

Game: You know when you've got a marker on a map and you're stood right near it but there's no obvious way to get at it? This happens to me a lot in Thief. I'm not sure if this is intentionally part of the challenge or whether I'm just being extraordinarily thick but it's mightily frustrating.  There's a second storey window with no obvious way to get at it - spends an hour figuring out how to get up there.  I just want to do the sneaky stealey missions!

Worcester Sorcerer (Sadler's)

Name: Worcester Sorcerer
Label: "A smooth Golden English Bitter. Sweet malt character with a citrus fruit hop finish"
Brewery: Sadler's
ABV: 4.3%

Rating: "Juicy malt and crisp grassy aromas prepare your taste buds for a sprightly citrus fruit character. Warm toffee apple fruitiness rolls on with softly roasted malts, leading to a gently bitter finish. Brewed using the finest Maris Otter malted barley and finished with pure English Hops".  Proper magic, this one is.

Game: Thieves are bad, Thief is great though.  The game plays like a marriage 'twixt Assassin's Creed and Dishonored.  I disliked Dishonored, I liked the medieval type feel but this was ruined with security cameras and robot things. What?  But Thief is the best of both worlds and doesn't contain stupid robots. The graphics are tremendous too. Oh and LOOT!  Rating: 9/10
