We took the advice of the chaps at Blogobeer and also tried it mixed with Chocolate and it was indeed delicious — not unlike Jamaica Ginger cake. Yum.

Just to add something to the debate, and because I've never made it to the Marble Arch, Keystone's Golden Spice at 4 per cent is the only ginger that I can keep going back to pint after pint.

Or I did for the first pint. That hasn't stopped me having just the one six or seven times though. Slightly surprised to see that link, I thought that I quite liked it. Or I did for the first pint.

Always a good mix of people I find. I've called in and there's been a distinct lack of choice but that's another matter. I also agree that the Angel is indeed excellent-shame it's decided to close on Sundays.

Daleside Morocco ale is one I like to have in Winter. I’m quite partial to a beer with ginger in too. Daleside Morocco ale is one I like to have in Winter.

Too many beer snobs in there and I didn't think the beer was that good. I much preferred the Angel up the road. :-) The Marble Arch is alright but not great.
