Old Speckled Hen

[Dr. Marneaus]

Man, I'm so excited!

On my way home today I stopped at Lee's Discount Liquor, and what do you know, they had one of my favorites in stock! I've never seen it for sale in cans before.

I love this stuff. You can taste the individual speckles!

I need to pick a good cigar to pair with it though, Any suggestions? I figure something a bit lighter.

I love this stuff better in cans than a bottle. Those little widgets make any English beer taste creamier. Young's Double Chocolate, and Guinness are two I also prefer from a can as well.

Smoke whatever you like. the beer will compliment it if you're in the mood for it. I never over analyze it.

Binny's in Chicago have it in stock, think i'll try it out. Thanks!

Picked up two four packs of the cans. Last ones.

I have never seen Young's Double Chocolate Stout in a can, but I wish I could get some because I love the bottled version.

In my opinion beers store better in cans than bottles. Do a side by side with beer that you can get in both and often they taste totally different. Newcastle Brown is a good example because of the clear bottle. Or for you non beer drinkers try Heineken in the bottle and then in the can. The bottled version is almost always skunky.

I love this stuff and it's gone down from $9.99 / six pack to $7.99 / six pack by me. Now I like it even more but never did have the cans.

Old Speckled Hen is good stuff... and it's brewed a little over a mile from my house! I love living in the UK.

Any medium bodied smoke should pair well with it.
