A widely available Belgium beer
Appearance
Looks like an English bitter dark chestnut with large off white head.
Aroma
Hoppy with dark sugar and malt coming to the fore at to the end.
Taste
Rich malt and cane sugar without the sweetness as the hops come in very strong. The finish is drying and bitter hops with just enough sweetness to make you sip more.
Overall
Not over complex but does what it does well 7.5/10
Today I will do another Beer review something I have been neglecting.
Appearance
Dark brown with large tan head
Aroma
Chocolate and raspberry are the dominant smells with a hint of dark malt
Taste
Very tart raspberry dominant the flavours just a touch of malt. The finish is long and strong with the raspberry slowly fading with bitterness remaining.
Overall
To one dimensional for me to like
6/10
Appearance
Dark chestnut with large tan head
Aroma
Very hoppy with a floral nature with chocolate in the background and hint of garabaldi biscuits
Taste
Sweet malt with chocolate at first which is swamped by hops and a rich maltiness. The finish is increasingly bitter with a touch of burn from the booze.
Overall
Really like this beer big flavours but with enough complexity to enjoy 8/10
A smoked porter form Brewdog and Victory brewing company, not a brewery I know.
Appearance
Dark black, light barely passes shows a cloudy dark red brown.
Aroma
Smoked chocolate is the aroma with a hint of black treacle
Taste
Rich sweet malt at first then the smoke comes in but is not overpowering. The finish is bitter (in comparison) and Smokey with a lovely warmth of the amount of alcohol.
Overall
Lovely subtle imperial porter, does what it claims. 8/10
Today's offering is courtesy of my friends Kees and Marije.
Apperance
Very cloudy light brown with small lasting white head.
Aroma
Very hoppy at first and then caramel / toffee comes through.
Taste
Hoppy floral notes with biscuit malt to balance with a touch of nettles and elderflower. The finish is slight bitter and caramel.
Overall
Note really a trippel in taste but a lovely easy drinking beer.
Appearance
Black with white face disappearing head.
Aroma
Spicy malt hot cross bun like, think Dortmunder
Taste
Spicy yeasty hot cross buns with dark sweetness like a dubbel. The finish is sweet and spicy
Overall
Lovelly Dortmunder style beer very quaffable
8/10
