November 21, 2012 by Simon Narracott Leave a Comment

Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock

Description: Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock is a bottom-fermented, dark double buck beer, which pours a dark brown gorgeous colour, hint of dark birch red. Gradually fades to light ring of fine foam, with lace around the mug. It has the aroma of a prune juice with roasty malt, tiny bit of chocolate, tiny bit of fruit […]

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout 2

Description: On pouring, this has a brown foam head on a deep black liquid, with the aroma of dark dry chocolate normally only found in a real chocolate shop. It is smooth and hoppy to the taste with a chocolate and coffee taste present but not overwhelming the beer. It leaves with a lingering dryness […]

Brooklyn Brown Ale

November 17, 2012 by Simon Narracott Leave a Comment

Brooklyn Brown Ale 2

Description: Richly mahogany in colour, this Brooklyn Brown Ale is richer and hoppier than the milder UK Brown Ales. It has distinctive chocolate and burnt coffee flavours punctuated with a roasty malt background, along with the smooth aroma of dry chocolate and coffee. Reasonably heavy to drink alone, and much more a sipping beer, this […]

Cave Creek Mexican Chili Beer

November 14, 2012 by Simon Narracott 1 Comment

cave-creek-chili-beer

Description: This beer pours very light gold, and has the lightest aroma of pepper spray. First sip, refreshing but then the lemon and corn flavour gives way to a chili warmth, as if coming in from the sides. Instant reaction is to take another mouthful to cool you down – big mistake. Sip it to […]

Amigos Tequila Flavoured Mexico Beer

November 14, 2012 by Simon Narracott Leave a Comment

Amigos Tequila Flavoured Mexico Beer

Description: Pouring a nice lemon gold, it has a gentle aroma of lime, corn and barley. You will find it a very refreshing beer with notes of South American limes and real Mexican Tequila. However, the limes overpower the Tequila, making this taste more like a bitter top (beer with a head of lemonade) than […]

Cerveza Palma Cristal Beer

November 14, 2012 by Simon Narracott Leave a Comment

Cerveza Palma Cristal Beer

Description: Cerveza Palma Cristal Beer pours a medium golden colour, with a fine foam head that dissipates quickly. Served cold, with condensation on the glass makes this beer look flat and dull. There is almost no aroma at all furthering this belief which already makes it a bit disappointing before the first taste. Taking the […]

Morland Old Speckled Hen

Morland Old Speckled Hen

Description: Old Speckled Hen has a full, smooth flavour and is very easy to drink. Its rich amber colour and superb fruity aromas are complemented by a delicious blend of malty tastes and it pours with a light fine head. Toffee and malt combine with bitterness on the back of the tongue to give a […]

Sharps Brewery Single Brew

September 19, 2012 by Simon Narracott Leave a Comment

Sharps Brewery Single Brew

Description: This beer pours a light gold in colour, with a massive fine white foam. Nice though this is it does make it difficult to pour. Or maybe it just makes you wait longer before sampling it. Not a beer to have if you are thirsty. Once poured, it has the very faint aroma of […]

Sharps Brewery Quadrupel Ale

September 19, 2012 by Simon Narracott Leave a Comment

Sharps Brewery Quadrupel Ale

Description: This beer pours a dark ruby black in colour, with a fine dark foam, and has the very perfumed aroma of liquorice and dried vanilla pods. In the mouth it is slightly bittersweet, with the taste of dark fruits, liquorice, vanilla all coming together in a nicely controlled manner. At the finished it is […]
