Anyone tasted any malty sweet beer like horlicks that they could recommend, or even flavoured beers, i'd quite like to try a banana beer, i've heard of cherry and chocolate but these sound a little sickly sweet?
Are there any good sites you can give me please? Preferably in the uk as i want some for the bank holiday

Some of these beers and wines try and condenscend to you with their rubbish descriptions of *notes of lavender, followed by a smooth whiff of oats, followed by a scent of hotdogs and lingering aftertaste of fairy dust* and all of that nonsense when all i want to know is, does it have a decent amount of alcohol and is it nice on the pallatte, no need for jumped up hoity toity salesman nonsense, just give it to us straight
Google chocolate orange porter...can't recall the brewer ,
there are a lot of continental beers with fruit
Get a copy of the good beer guide invaluable reference book...
Some of the Salopian beers are worth a shot... Lemon Dream is absolutely beautiful a lovely Summer beer with a light citrussy tang... very easy drinking but it is quite strong
If you are a real bear nut I recommend Birmingham City Centre especially the Wellington At any one time they have 250 csks in the cellar waiting to come on and they have 16 pumps plus a few good regulars like Maisels wheat beer
The Post Office Vaults have 8 pumps but a range of about 150 different bottled beers and about 10 ciders. The Shakespeare has 6 pumps and regularly get Thornbridge beers in... Jaipur is a stunner
Then there is the Trocadero (5 pumps) the briar rose (5) I think and a few others
Then there is the Harborne Mile including 12 pumps in the White horse plus another 7 cask marque pubs in close proximity....

I'm sure there are a few examples around but maybe worth trying to source some unhopped beers.
McEwans Exhibition Ale is a beer that springs to mind that is heavy on the malt and light on the bitterness.
But then again alot of (trad.) Scottish ales are more sweet than bitter. Historically this is because hops had to be imported from England and were expensive so used sparingly. Also the cold weather usually stopped the yeast before full fermentation happended, leaving a malty, sweet taste.
