Appearance
Auburn with lasting off white head
Aroma
Marzipan with hops and a faint hint of butterscotch
Taste
Chewy malt at first with butterscotch and just as think it may get to sweet the hops come in to balance with a touch of peppercorns. The finish is surprisingly dry with light toasted grain the bitter hint of pepper hops and a bit of tangy citrus.
Overall
This is beer is a really good pint well balanced and subtle.
8.5/10
Today's offering is a French trappings beer brewed with the help of chimay
Appearance
Cloudy orangy chestnut with large off white head
Aroma
Orange like citrus with a good helping of peppery hops.
Taste
Malt starts but is reigned in first by orange acidity and building earthy hops. The finish is long with peppery hops and earthy hops with grain likemalt and still the citrus.
Overall
I think this beer will age well, a good beer but just missing the complexity of other trappists.
8/10
Apperance
Chestnut with a lot of orange white small but lasting head.
Aroma
Biscuit malt touch of earthy hops
Taste
Slighty sweet malt balanced by earth hops. The finish is slightly bitter and moreish.
Overall
As it aims to be a great traditional English ale. A proper pint.
8/10
Apperance
Dark brown or black with fast disappearing light brown cream head
Aroma
Peat smoke and treacle with a touch of sultarnas
Taste
Dark roasted grain with a bitterness tempered with a touch of vinous fruits and a slight metallic taste, think stilton and a touch of lambic wet hay. The finish is sneaky the taste fade and you think no finish and then it grows with Smokey bitterness.
Overall
Think I over chilled this one, and not the weather for this beer but this is a nice stout.

Apperance
Pale gold with white head

Elderflower and lychee with a good backing of grain and malt.

Peppery hops soon give way to bitter hops and tea finally some fruitless comes in to the background. The finish is mouth dryingly bitter with a strong tea flavour but strangely moreish.

Not what I was expecting but very moreish

9/10
Today's very lively offering is from Burton, so I expect Apple's.
Apperance
Mid cloudy chestnut with very large cream head
Aroma
Slightly sour like a lambic wet hay with a hint of apple.
Taste
Start sour and just like that a huge hit of sweetness with raisins and sultarnas which fades and apples take over. The finish is sweet chewy malt with slight sour Apples and a nice warmth from the alcohol.
Overall
This beer is so contrasting in flavour it should not work but it does. Not an easy drinking beer but a good one.
