8 Wired Brewing Co. – iStout Affogato

Wow, its an imperial stout weighing in at 10% all the way from New Zealand.

Its super strong, but lactose infused, so its smooth in equal measure. . . It tastes of smooth coffee, like a latte type. And has a sweetness to it. Very nice beer.

Sampled from: Can

ABV – 10%

Would I recommend? Yes

Would I buy again? Yes

Rating: 5/5

Brew York – Up in Smoke

Maple and Cherry wood Barbecue smoked porter. Tastes a bit like dark chocolate with a slight fruitiness to it. After taste has the smokiness, but its not overpowering. Another cracking beer from Brew York.

Sampled from: Can

ABV – 5.1%

Would I recommend? Yes

Would I buy again? Yes

Rating: 4/5

Brewdog – Jet Black Heart (Nitro)

Wow, this is absolutely the smoothest beer I have ever tried at home, it is like pure silk in a glass. I know this is predominantly down to the nitrogen, but honestly its mind blowing.

The beer itself, I have tried once before from a bottle and it was relatively unremarkable. Somehow it just tastes incredible. Honestly, its one of the best I have had. Ridiculously smooth, sweet, chocolatey, vanilla comes through, just a perfect pint!

Sampled from: Can

Country of Origin: USA

ABV – 6%

Would I recommend? Absofrickenlutely

Would I buy again? Without a shadow of a doubt

Rating: 5/5

Siren – Pompelmocello

Supposedly a Grapefruit Sour IPA. Right, this is only my second foray into the world of sours. . . the first time I swore never again, but because there seem to be so many out there now, some fucker is clearly drinking them, so I figured. . . Maybe I had a bad experience, lets give it another try. . . Nah, it was fucking rank. . . bitter as fuck. Didn’t really taste of anything per se, let alone Grapefruit. . . I am just totally disillusioned by the concept of the “sour”, seriously, what is the point?

Sampled from: Can

ABV – 6%

Would I recommend? Fuck no!

Would I buy again? Not as long as I am cognitive
