So I visited The Victoria with friends and some of their parents. I would even go so far to say this is my favourite real ale pub in Leeds. I love it, like going back in time but on this visit it was only fleeting so I'll tell you more information about The Victoria Hotel another day. So I had a swift pint of Nutty Black which I had before but in a bottle. I really liked it again but I can't decide if I like it better bottle or cask?
Then I moved onto a pint of Oakfield Brewery's India Pale Ale which was nice and refreshing after the darker smoother Nutty Black. I would recommend this as a drink if you didn't want to be too weighed down with a dark ale. Finally my friend had the other IPA they had on Japur IPA which she said
"Delicious and at the strength it should be. Desert-like and luxurious like a turkish delight"
They usually have about 8 pumps on at the Victoria but this occasion they only had 3 left on which was but a disappointing but hey what can you do?
The vic is always a treat. I also find myself in there from time to time. Scabby Taps and The Grove Inn of Leeds have an awesome real ale selection.
ReplyDeleteScarborough tap is right at the top of my need-to-drink-at pub list since it right round the corner from my work so I have a perfect reason!
