Framboise Boon Evans

2022: rich honeyed cherry aroma, fizzy thinness is sharp fruity raspberries, sweet but diluted fruit is raspberry jam finishing, a lovely brew that delivers in promise

Mirage V.2 Evans

Bicarbonate of soda scented disappoints, pink fizz is sharp. Lightly fruited, sour apricots more than plum, fuzzy swallow resides like an unwanted baking soda mouth film - not my bag 🤮

Kriek Boon Evans

(2021 neck label): scarlet pour wafts cherries, pink foam head adds a mild creamy entrance, sweet but tart sipping before a dry bitter fruit skin finish. Delicate cloying red wine residue, pleasant enough

Strawberry O Evans

Dominates table with its strawberry laces waft whilst others drink! Red brew doesn’t sniff great when smell is sought (smell is fruity bacon)! Wow, sharp finish is OMG strawberry laces! Front is mellow & gummy sweet, before tart & sour mouthwatering end

Breakfast Stout (2021) Evans

Earthy coffee nose smells compromised, dense entrance is a shallow dark chocolate sauce, bittersweet start finishes boozy & grows unpleasantly bitter - shame, nice enough brew until you pause drinking

George Bourbon BA Evans

Rich chocolate cake aroma, sweet bourbon mouthful is thin & fizzy, smooth swallow is chest warming & mouth numbing. Aftertaste is dark chocolate sponge………..soaked in booze!

Monk's Brew Evans

Delicate stewed raisin sniff, malty mouth is diluted compared to trappist ale. Banana flavour dominates, but with a brown sugar sultana drizzle. Easy drinking, just lacks impact & wow

Russia Stout Evans

Liquorice wafts, soft velvet entrance, decadent creamy mouth, a sweet liquorice finish turns burnt & bitter coffee roast. Altho a light stout this has loads going on & engages - recommended

Ich Bin Raspberry Evans

Smells like raspberry vinegar, sweet & almost flat berry start, vinegar middle before a bitter wild forest raspberry finish. Gently fruity & subtly bicarbonate of soda - nice sour balance

Kriek Boon Evans

Sharp cherry vinegar like aroma, fizzy sweet cherry mouthful, slight caramel on finish. A cherry syrup residue vanishes quickly, but the fruity aftertaste remains awhile

Kriek Boon Evans

Bright scarlet pour & pink head, sharp cherry aroma doesn’t disappoint, sweet fruity diluted wine like entrance becomes creamy, cherry dominant finish has a caramel tinge whilst fruit fades, easy drinking & very quaffable - a good start to tonight!

Breakfast Stout (2018) Evans

Bottled 25/07/18: aroma is obvious to dark chocolate, minimal fizz maximum milky bitter chocolate mouth, thick & rich with a malty chocolate finish. Residue is bitter chocolate - I like it, but you may not if you don’t like chocolate!

Geuze Mariage Parfait Evans

2005 bottle found in my beer shed at Xmas! Golden crystal clear pour, apple cider nose creates tart expectation, light bubbles hide amongst soft mouthful of sweet & sour acidities, mellow fruity fermented apple finish. Delicate caramel residue, exquisite
