Beer | Brewery | ABV (%) | Comments | Score:/10 |
---|
Centurian's ghost | York | 5.40 | Hollow at start, but solid by end. Heading towards a session dark. A grower. | 8.5 |
Blakeney Red | Hecks | 6.50 | Enjoyable tartness, good kick, Wonderful! | 8.5 |
Liberty Ale | Anchor | 6.00 | Good America IPA. Good solid hop bitterness, balanced with aromatic sweetness courtesy of the malts. | 8.5 |
Butty Bach | Wye Valley Brewery | 4.50 | Full but understated ale, disipating head, smooth and light with dedicate fizz. | 8.5 |
Old Growler | Nethergate Brewery | 5.50 | A true winter beer. Deep ruby colours, with smooth roast malts and fruit tangs. Touch of licorice. Better than Pied Boeuf. | 8.5 |
Strong Arm | Camerons | 4.00 | Deep ruby red coloured ale. Small full cream head. Tingles on tongue before a rush of smooth cream overpowers it. Lefted with creamed layer on tongue, and velvet head on lips. | 8.5 |
1845 | Fullers | 6.30 | Highly spiced, rich, copper/ruby ale. Bottled only. Good malt, slight sour taste, but pleasent. Fullsome mouthfeel. | 8.5 |
Newtons Medium Perry | Newtons | 7.00 | Strong pear taste, especially at end. Easy drinking, very good. | 8.5 |
Malzbier | Cramer | 0.00 | Very dark brown red body, fine head. Malt syrup but goes down smooth despite appearance. Slight hold on aftertaste. Hints of honey | 8.5 |
Brand Pils | Brand | 5.00 | Despite being a pils, and from Heineken, this has a good hoppy taste which follows through into aftertaste. In short pils with bite and interest. Not disilimar to Urquell. | 8.5 |
Dancing Hen | Felstar | 6.00 | Brewed using double decoction. Quite sweet, but other many interest flavours, none of them easy to describe. Therefore, try it! | 8.5 |
Christmas Ale | Anchor Steam | 0.00 | Variable - depending on the year | 8.5 |
Perry | Broadoak | 7.50 | Mild pear drop taste, with very weak lime over the top. No fizz. Infinitely drinkable | 8.5 |
Den Udødelige Hest | Svaneke Bryghuset | 7.50 | Guinness dark colour with dark brown foam head. Strong grain aroma. Caramel, roasted grain, very rich and filling taste, but a little too fizzy on after taste. | 8.5 |
Yarlington Mill | Gwatkins | 8.00 | Fizzy golden yellow cider. Full-on apple aroma. Slightly too much syrup. Clean. No sediment. | 8.5 |
Schiehallion | Harviestoun | 4.80 | Hoppy, strong and spicy which jumps out; something to remind you that lager can bite. | 8.5 |
Maibock | Gordon Biersch | 8.00 | Tart bitter taste, with dryness holding into the a/t. A very perculiar over-arching taste (similarities to Dancing Hen from Felstar). Also named "Abusive Girlfriend", because it's strong abv makes it very bad for you; but the intruiging taste makes you co | 8.5 |
Verboden Vrucht | Hoegaarden | 0.00 | The forbidden fruit with adam and eve label. Melted honey on toast flavour, with fizz. Medium brown husk appearance with shade similar to Grottenbier. Smooth, enjoyable | 8.5 |
Jura | Paradox | 15.00 | Overly dark and creamy, with a tight pallet and tayberry feel in mouth and on taste. Notes of dark demorare sugar, but without a full sweetness aftertaste. The whisky cask certainly helps here, and while Jura isn't my favourite Whisky, it's good enoug | 8.5 |
Fraoch | William Bros Brewing Company | 5.00 | Amber ale with moderate malt taste, herbal (heather) flavours, and flora aroma. Good dry finish. | 8.5 |
Saison - 01|05 - Saphir & Lemon | Brew by Numbers | 5.30 | Light and refreshing, but with taste. Impressive piece of work. | 8.5 |
The Abbot's Confession | Greene King | 8.50 | Red ruby color, with sweet and richness akin to ESB, or a Golden Pride if someone tipped berries into it | 8.5 |
Tally-Ho | Adnams | 4.10 | Heading to a barley wine. Too sweet and cloying, really, with dark cherry bite. Biscuit and raisin on palate. Have no more than 1/3 | 8.5 |
Whisky Cask Cider | Thistly Cross | 6.90 | Honey gives it a clear look and very smooth taste. Quite dry. Drink lots! | 8.5 |
Nightporter | Bronckhorster | 8.00 | Pitch black stout. Chocolate, coffee, and liquorice. Too strong a coffee (for me) w/ berry hints. (7/10 for me 8.5 if you're coffee fan) | 8.5 |
Skull Splitter | Orkney | 8.50 | Strong with fruity malt, and touches of balanced hop. With sweetness and spiceness. | 8.5 |
Whisky Cask | Thistly Cross | 6.90 | Blurb says: Matured in ex-Glen Moray (previously Glenglassaugh Distillery) whisky casks this is a dry & subtle cider. Infused with mellow, vanilla oak of the cask. Nothing to add! | 8.5 |
