BARCHESTER FORTIFIED WINE

Sheffield Stout is a sod to make. It doesn't matter if you add the lemonade to the black beer or the other way round, it fobs all over the bar. The only way to stop it is to stir the lemonade thus making it flat and spoiling the drink.It can also be used in a "Friar Tuck" [cocktail] in place of dark creme de cacao to make a sweeter drink.1 part Frangelico Hazlenut Liqueur1 part sweet malt [Black Beer]3 parts creamShake with ice, strain, pour over ice into a 6oz glass, float amaretto, garnish: shake of cinammon.

I remember Mathers, the main reason being that I used to go there to collect their empty used packaging containers, such plastic and steel drums.I remember loading some industrial steel drums onto the truck and some had labels on saying ethyl alcohol. When I asked what it was for the guy loading me said that when the stuff they were brewing proved not up to its ABV level, they just poured it out of the drum into the VAT to bring the strength up!Never drank stuff of theirs again!!!

Hi Drapesycheck back to that posting now!Cracked it! Ta!Does anyone remember Yorkshire Stingo, Colne Springand Harvest(?) Gold ?, strong ale sold in 1/4 or 1/3pint bottles.? My mum used to drink them and also Snowballs, (made at the bar not from bottles),in the Kirkstall WMC on Commercial Rd Kirkstall. This was pre warand just after. The club moved up Beecroft Street into the old Sandford Mission Hall on Sandford Road. (Livened up theevening services no end,I bet!).Someone posted a picture of the old WMC building a while backshowing the carved(?) stone 'heading' still intact.OH dear! Nowt to do with Barchester wines! Sorry!

Sorry!Nurse! where's me zimmer gone now?Arry Thanks for that "arry", cheeky so and so! I forgot that cocktails in Leeds never really got past the "pint of mixed" stage!If you think a Friar Tuck sounds goppin', and as my present pub is a bit of a Northern ex-pats 'ole, I'm tempted to have a "Make a Mathers cocktail night". It's got to be better than the flat southern rubbish we do sell, I'll post you the pics.

Fanx Stevief and Tykebhoy!No TB, I think The thing with egg in it (YUK!) wasAdvocaat. Not sure what spirit was in it, gin?(Brasso and compass alcohol?)Eveninks and morninks I drink Warninks! 'Bols' I say!(Sorry dsco!)'Wine from the wood' was, among other things(!) called 'Armadillo!'It wasn't bad really and was quite a bit cheaper if you broughtyr own bottle! I have a feeling Barchester wines did a wine fromthe wood too, Mebbe that was Armadillo!Not quite amontillado!'TIO Pepe' of course, was a top end sherry,By Gonzales Byass,Sherry importers, Good stuff !
