Welcome
A bit of a CV. Tandleman is a veteran beer lover, local CAMRA Chairman and activist, beer writer, beer reviewer and pursuer of all things good in beer. He lives in the North West of England and London. Despite his CAMRA membership, he does not limit himself to cask conditioned beer, though he believes that cask conditioning, when done correctly and appropriately, brings a quality to beer that is hard to equal by any other kind of presentation. He is a strong supporter of Northern methods of beer dispense and avidly detests poorly presented beer and dislikes pasteurisation. He regularly visits Germany, has conducted corporate British and German beer tastings for CAMRA at the Great British Beer Festival where he has worked for years on Biere Sans Frontieres and was Deputy Organiser at CAMRA's very successful National Winter Ales Festival in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and at the Manchester Beer and Cider Festival from 2013 to date. He admires good brewers wherever they are and has travelled extensively in pursuit of good beer to drink. He also judges beer at both the International Beer Challenge and the World Beer Awards.

Neither do I.
I'm staying silent on the subject. Nothing could entice me to even comment on the subject on another blog.

I can't resist, there is one thing that seems to be missing; do we know what the damn stuff tastes like?
Dave, it tastes bloody lovely! Think port and add some seriously dark bitter chocolate, some cherries, a loads of fruity/floral hops and a kick of booze at the end.
mmmmm port? chocolate? cherries?yummy. That's it, I've just ordered some.
Thanks Mark.
Have you tried it? Did you have an opinion on it? Come on, tell us.
