Brew York – Black Eagle

A black IPA.

Well, it looks like a really nice porter or stout, but tastes like a pretty standard hopfest of an IPA. Not really my cup of tea.

Sampled from: Can

ABV – 5.8%

Would I recommend? Not particularly

Would I buy again? Unlikely

Rating: 2/5

Salt Vs. Beer Paradise – Stingo Bells

Panettone Stingo. Right, I have never tried a stingo before. . . apparently its a traditional Yorkshire style of beer.

Its fizzier than most for a start, had a lovely tartiness to it, but not sour. This was complimented nicely with a subtle fruity, and mild spiced rounded flavour.

It genuinely didn’t taste like Pannettone, but was a really good beer all the same. Cant wait to try another stingo!

Sampled from: Can

ABV – 7.4%

Would I recommend? Yeah

Would I buy again? Yes

Rating: 4/5

Wickwar – Christmas Cracker

A nice warming amber ale, balanced and tasty, but not at all christmassy! Which to be fair is probably not a bad thing. . . I have had some awful Christmas ales over the years, this is nice, just a bit plain.

Sampled from: Bottle

ABV – 4.1%

Would I recommend? Yeah

Would I buy again? Yes

Rating: 3/5

Faxe – Royal Export

A nice, strong tasting, yet sweet lager with a wheaty flavour. Slightly bitter and odd aftertaste, bit generally pretty good.

Sampled from: Can

Country of Origin: Denmark

ABV – 5.6%

Would I recommend? Yeah

Would I buy again? Yes

Rating: 3/5
