There's more diacetyl in it than all the other beers I've ever drunk put together.<br /><br />I never got to taste an Usher's beer, before my time, but have seen a couple of things suggesting it wasn't highly regarded.

The Sweetheart is too, but has historical significance.<br /><br />McEwan's Export was a dreadful beer then too. I doubt if it has improved. Tennent's offerings then were Guards Heavy and Piper Export (which I quite liked.) I also liked McEwans Pale Ale- dark as anything - in a pint "screwtap". Ushers Pale Ale was pretty good too and Dryborough's not bad either.Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114284681482585458.post-45080808299908851722010-06-15T00:46:28.919+01:002010-06-15T00:46:28.919+01:00I wouldn't know about that. Let's face it,...I wouldn't know about that. Let's face it, Michael Jackson wrote very generous things about some pretty crappy beers. Having said that, sweet stout was once an important style and there weren't many left when he was writing the book, so perhaps he felt it merited inclusion for that reason.Rob Sterowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870233673933087794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114284681482585458.post-63863914926938416642010-06-14T18:44:49.967+01:002010-06-14T18:44:49.967+01:00I wonder if Michael Jackson listed it in his 500 b...I wonder if Michael Jackson listed it in his 500 beers more for the cool design of the can than the taste of the beer?Baileyhttp://boakandbailey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114284681482585458.post-61371735961009441172010-06-05T19:02:33.600+01:002010-06-05T19:02:33.600+01:00wowwowericmsteenhttp://beerandscifi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114284681482585458.post-52583088255020525532010-06-03T21:39:12.293+01:002010-06-03T21:39:12.293+01:00I've just had the Sweetheart Stout.
