Bringing you the best things in life

Goose Island Honkers Ale Chicago

December 10, 2012 by Simon Narracott Leave a Comment

Goose Island Honkers Ale Chicago

Description: Pouring a lovely golden fawn colour, with a lingering fine foam, this beer has the delicate hop aroma that hides its proper taste. The wheat adds a nice fullness to the flavour of hops and malt, the fine bubbles refreshing in the mouth leading to a superb finish of dry hops. This is really […]

Sierra Nevada Stout

November 26, 2012 by Simon Narracott Leave a Comment

Sierra Nevada Stout

Description: Dry, though cloying, there are cocoa and dark chocolate flavours, black treacle, and dark malt leading into a bitter coffee and chocolate finish. The high 5.8% abv maintains the warmth and weight of the body. This is not a cheap chocolate beer, but much more of a dark molasses and raw cocoa chocolate taste […]

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

Description: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale pours a lovely bronze colour, with a fine, light, long lasting head. The aroma of citrus fruit and malt, the first taste adds in cinnamon and apple flavours. It remains tangy throughout yet deceptively light for a 5.6% abv beer. The Apple and malt work together well to give a […]

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 […]

Dozmary Lake Malbec California 2011

Dozmary Lake Malbec California 2011

Description: This is a full bodied red wine which combines the aromas of juice red raspberry, toast and mocha with a palate of rich red fruits. Not as smooth as you would expect from a Californian red, it is light and cheerful in the mouth. The label makes reference to bleak moors and the Lady […]

Brooklyn Lager

September 8, 2012 by Simon Narracott Leave a Comment

Brooklyn Lager

Description: This beer is cloudy, which was unexpected, but could be described as amber gold or tan in colour. It has a very fine foam, which lasts, and a delicate floral and hop aroma. Definate hop and citrus freshness on the tongue, the beer is a complex mix of taste, each adding to the freshness […]
