ABV 3.8%

7.0/10

Beer of: England

A purchase from the brewery shop on our way to Caroline and Darren’s wedding. Drunk some weeks later at a barbecue at the Boyd house in the evening.

They say: Full bodied and malty with a dry finish and a fruity aroma, with hints of roasted malts.

I say: It was my turn to drive that night and I knew i best only have one beer. Most of what is left on the shelf is strong and lagery, then I spotted this. Ideal. Poured smoothly and gave off a pleasing aroma which was reminiscent of Christmas puddings. The taste was good too, with the promised malt and fruit flavours discernible, and only 3.8% to boot.

ABV 4.5%

5.0/10

Beer of: England

A purchase from the brewery shop as we made our way to Caroline and Kevin’s wedding, drunk at home with tea..

They say: An award winning and distinctively, dark dry stout. Roasted barley and chocolate malts, with an aroma of citrus & Liquorice and chocolate and coffee flavours.

I say: A very lively brew with a considerable creamy head. Not much of an aroma and the taste was a little disappointing. There was practically none of the real stout flavours of coffee, chocolate or bitterness. Easy drinking but bland.
