Hello Simon i picked up Leffe brune in lidl and really enjoyed it so much i went back and cleared the shelf. I think you have reviewed it but worth another visit . Thanks 6.5 and less than £3.
I’ve had more than a few bottles of this Winter Porter and certainly highly rate it. The main spice I get is nutmeg but it also has a subtle coffee/chocolate background that gives a pleasant bitterness to this Porter. Personally I don’t get the curry spices at all (cumin, coriander etc), just in case that’s putting some of you off 😄.
Simon you are the best beer reviewer on TH-cam in my opinion. Love watching and learning BUT please please give us the PRICE of the item. It makes all the difference . Most of us are on a budget just write it on the label when you buy it. It's as important as the ABV. in my mind. Thanks for doing such a great job over the years. Wishing You ,Mel,and your family a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous 2025. Colin.
Just copy and paste the name of the beer from the title into your search bar. Takes a couple of seconds, it's £1.95, he said it was about £2. Don't forget Wales has different alcohol pricing than England too.
Lmao he ain't he's entertaining but he ain't the best specially since any free beer he gets sent is always great! Beers he buys from.shops get honest reviews freebies not so.much unfortunately
Previously, Sainsbury’s London Porter was produced by Shepard Neame. I wasn’t impressed, especially when compared to the Fuller’s one. I’ll give this one ago, as looks good. I note that the head disappeared quite quickly though.
I tried the chocolate orange one in Sainsburys and at first I liked it but changed my mind it got a bit much for my tastebuds from those artificial flavours. I have a feeling the winter porter would be similar might initially taste nice.
The Taste The Difference Christmas beers are really tasty, the winter spice as sounds good.....bI'll try and pick them up, Sainsbury's near me is absolute chaos in the run up to Christmas, huge queues they must be doing something right!! Out of the 'big 4' I'd say Sainsbury's and Tesco are good supermarkets, Asda and Morrisons have gone terrible at the moment.
2 items for your consideration, Si: I know of a newsie on Albany Road selling 5% _German_ Becks in cans alongside all of their Burton on Trent wonders (surely worth a review) & also the 4 Elms have started serving Murphy's too! Merry Christmas!
Have you tried Northern Monk with Timothy Taylor's "Northern Rising" I believe a 4 pack is £6.50 or 2 packs for £10.50 in Morrisons. Think it might be up your street as it's probably more Timothy Taylor
The spices are pummelling my nostrils....this bloke is a poet for the modern man. 😊
heading for Sainsbury's right now to pick up my Christmas supply of Champion, I'm going to add half a dozen bottles of this Porter to my order.
Cheers for this Simon. Happy Christmas and new year. Porter and Christmas go hand in hand. 🎉

This is a decent porter, I definitely prefer the Sainsbury's Winter Warmer beer this year though.

Really like Badger's Cranford Poacher, it is slightly a higher ABV, but is really a nice brew.
Good review 👍

Worth a try. I do like the Yorkshire Milk Stout though. Miles better than Guinness, I agree.
