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

A blueberry win amazing bit pricey but worth it bit of a sour taste but not overpowering

Boozy. Perhaps too boozy. Malty with spicey notes, cinnamon, orange rind and raisins with a bitter overlay.

Huge sherry notes. Dark cherry, black forest gateau. Nan what have you done to this cake? Smooth body almost like a mild, fruity, sweet, celebratory. Surprisingly thin for such a high percentage beverage. Burnt caramel? K1

One sip and I felt like I was back in Belgium! Huge funky and malty flavours evoking notes of raisin, candied fruits, and Christmas pudding. Super soft, smooth, slick, sticky and sweet. The warming is slow and gradual, beautiful slow burner.

Big finale. Great beer. Complex and boozy, this a rich, nutty, sweet and drying beer that explains my slightly sore head this morning.

Decent craft rice lager. Crisp, light and smooth. Washes down the spicy wings well.

Jet black. Smells earthy, floral. Really easy to drink, smooth. Dark chocolate, roast coffee, liquorice, raisins, biscuits.

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

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

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

An extremely smooth, easy drinking beer. Really does strike an excellent balance between the best aspects of stouts - coffee and chocolate, sweet and bitter, roasty and creamy.
