Oktoberfest

Pros: bready, malty and caramelly. Clean. Cons: not particularly interesting. Mildly boozy, no smoke (not necessary for a Märzen but still). Very little on the nose.

Dirty Bastard

To style Scottish ale. Boozy and malt forward with toffee and caramel. Hoppier than traditional ones madenin Scotland - bitter and slightly florwl at the back.

Porter

Good Porter - roasty, chocolate and coffee on the nose. Caramel malts at the back of the tongue. Medium body. Nice and dark with bitter hops. Aftertaste a bit dry for my taste and not particularly complex. Still a great contender

Classic Gueuze (2022)

Fresh geuze tastes creamy which is very nice very odd

Geuze Mariage Parfait (2018)

A less fruity year of the parfait. Quite bitter for me compared to the 2020. Notes of citrus and apple.

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter

Unexpectedly thick and dark. Very strong bourbon flavours - not super woody, but quite a lot of booze and vanilla. Very sweet with some preserved fruit flavours; sort of raisiny and citrusy. Didn't expect it to taste like a highball, but it does.

Drink'in The Sun (0.3%)

Very malty and bittersweet. Looks and feels like a beer. Good for breaking up long days of drinking....
