Cobra Beer 
The first thing to say, of course, is that this is not an Indian brewed beer: in fact this bottle from Waitrose is not even the famous Curry-house favourite brewed in Bedford, but brewed in Poland according to the small print. Quite a deep gold, with a creamy, neutral-to-fruity nose,
the beer is soft and easy-going, with curry-friendly low carbonation and a rather bland finish that is neither sweet nor bitter. 66cl. 5.0%ABV.
�1.99 Waitrose.

Lion Brewery Lion Stout
Certainly one of my favourite beers, this deep, dark, chocolaty stout from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) has a thick, creamy head and notes of liquorice, dried fig and molasses on the nose. This sumptuous beer leads on to a smooth, rich palate with a bittersweet quality of mocha coffee and again, liquorice, and a burnt caramel tang. It is quite a winey tasting beer, with plenty of creamy body
and a long finish that is all bitter, tangy, dark flavours. Excellent and delicious stuff. 33cl. 8.0%ABV.
