So Pitted Phillips

Grapefruit, orange, berry fruits, very resinous, piney. Lingering bitterness. Superb WC DIPA.

Qua-Doink Phillips

Obviously much boozier, sweeter, but I think this is better than Big Doink. Ripe tropical fruits galore and a big piney hit. Even has some good hop bitterness. Really great QIPA.

Jule Malt 2.0 Phillips

Rich and sweet. Dark malts, chocolate, caramel, liquorice, roast, dried fruits. Boozy. Full bodied and smooth.

Lucid On Loop Phillips

Very fruity. Mango, papaya, melon and peach, grapefruit.

Death Vision Pt.2 Phillips

Very pithy citrus, grapefruit, tropical, dank herbal floral notes. Quite bitter.

Movie Night BA Phillips

Cola and the fortified wine barrels very prominent. Caramel, dark fruits, booze soaked raisins, chocolate, bourbon, oak, brown sugar. Sprinkle of salt. Mild Xmas spices. Boozy. Couldn’t taste the vanilla or marshmallows. Very interesting brown ale.

Lean In Phillips

Usually enjoy grapefruit in beer but not so much this time. Can’t put my finger why. The beer’s ok though.

Strawberry Cranachan Phillips

Very sweet. Strawberry syrup, honey, creamy vanilla, slight earthiness in the finish. Probably too sweet but very enjoyable.

Blinded By the Night Phillips

Bitter roasted malts, sweet caramel and chocolate. Well balanced.

Public Consumption Phillips

Sweet fruit juice. Peaches, mango and guava, mandarin and grapefruit.

Near Distant Future Phillips

Sweet toffee and caramel, chocolate, creamy vanilla, roast malts. Well balanced for a pastry stout. Quite boozy though.

Fruity and floral. Lots of passionfruit, peaches, grape. Pithy citrus finish with pine and hop spice.

Hello Pigeon! Phillips

Sweet ripe tropical fruity TIPA. Sharp citrus, mango, papaya, pineapple.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio Phillips

Another one of them “out of date” beers, almost 5 years old. Very funky, lots of oak, lemon, hay, vinegar. Sour, sharp and dry. Lively carbonation.

Beer Geek Breakfast Phillips

The coffee is intense, very roasty and bitter. Dark chocolate, caramel, more coffee. Boozy for 7.5%. Can’t believe I’ve not had this original before. Classic. Not quite as special as the various pastry stout spin offs though.

Oude Geuze Boon à l'Ancienne - VAT 109 Mono Blend Phillips

Brewed 2014 bottled 2016 so out of date by 5 years now. Disgusting old beer, but not. Finally found a Geuze I like. Dry, funky, oaky, sour, acidic, vinous, apple. No cognac though.

Game of Thrones - Iron Anniversary IPA Phillips

Clearly brewed to not offend the masses but it’s pretty decent considering. Sweet, ripe fruits, grapefruit, orange and mango, a little pine, very little bitterness.

The Glow Below Phillips

Juicy orange and pineapple, lime, mango, and a slight oniony note. Medium bodied, soft and smooth.

Don't Bring Me Down Phillips

Quite sweet, soft juicy exotic fruits. Papaya, mango, peaches. Gooseberry and lime. Delicious. Just wish it wasn’t so sweet.

Metamorfose Phillips

Juicy passionfruit, papaya, white grape, tangy gooseberry, dank and earthy bitterness. Such a soft pillowy body. Superb.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2018) Phillips

Rich and sweet, lots of maple, dark chocolate, bitter coffee, vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, woody barrel finish. Excellent.

Passionfruit, pineapple and orange. Bitter citrus, piney resin.
