A smooth porter, with a sharp, black coffee kind of taste to it.
Not as overpowering as some coffee beers I have tried, it strikes a good balance.
Well worth a try.

Coconut Stout all the way from The Netherlands, for sure!
Its got a really nice taste, its not overly sweet and kind of tastes a little like a liquid Bounty bar.

I have to admit, I was slightly disappointed with this one.
There’s nothing wrong with it as a beer, very nice and drinkable, however it claims to be brewed in bourbon casks etc. and I was anticipating at least abit of that to come out in the taste. I wasn’t getting any of that, so it came across as just a pretty plain Jane stout, with a craft beer price-tag.

Would I recommend? If your goal is to try all beers then you have to, otherwise, maybe give it a swerve.
Would I buy again? Nah

Well, if the name is a bit of a mouthful. . . so is the beer. Its very, very sweet, and more of a desert beer, meaning, you dont need a desert if your going to have one of these.
Its super strong, but doesn’t seem it at all!
I’ve tried the original version of this and honestly, I cant tell much difference with this one. theres a very slight smokiness to it when you first open the can and I think it smells slightly more than it tastes different.
Dont expect something mind-blowingly out there, or the sweet taste of a bacon butty in your mouth because you will be disappointed. All in all , well worth a try.

A nice, smooth stout, nothing exceptional, but easy drinking.
Doesnt taste as strong as it is, not sure if thats a good or bad thing!

Would I buy again? Possibly not, its quite expensive as its a craft beer, but doesn’t offer anything special.

Definately a local beer, apparently, and I am not sure how true it is. . . this is brewed specifically for Teesside and is seldom seen outside the area. If I am honest, I cant remember the last time I saw it on tap in the area which is sad.
Its a lovely pint. Dark, flavoursome, and like some others, the quality varies from pub to pub based on how good they are at keeping it.
I’m a big fan of this one and only wish it was more widely available. You used to be able to get it in Aldi now and then around 15 years ago, but not seen it in bottle since.

Would I recommend? Yeah, if you can find it, you need to try it.
Would I buy again? First chance I get.

If you are looking for something with a bit more to it than a Smiths Smooth, look no further. There are pubs that can keep and serve this right and there are those that cant. . . My local club has it down to perfection! 😉
Its a tasty bitter, quite widespread throughout the North East, and a personal favourite of mine.

Would I recommend? Well aye.
Would I buy again? Absolutely

This is undoubtedly my favourite beer.
I just cannot resist a pint of this if I see it on tap.
Its got everything. . . It has a really distinct almost fruity taste to it, its dark, its strong enough that it will blow your socks off if you drink too much of it, and for me at least, its brewed relatively close to home (but still far enough that I cant go to the brewery every day otherwise I would be in big trouble).
Only negative I would say is. . . if you have too many, which is easily done. . . you will have the worst hangover imaginable. . . You have been warned!

This is a collaboration beer produced by Vocation Brewery and Brew York.
It is very nice, sweet, perhaps a little sickly, deffo no more than one needed.
Tastes as described. Not much more to say really. Oh. . . there are better Chocolately beers out there, such as Brew Yorks Brownie Pints.
