Hambleton Ales – Nightmare Porter

Wow, this is incredible, in spite of its diminutive ABV, it packs a punch in the flavour department, super rich, chocolatey with a nice liquorice finish, super smooth, and potentially the best porter I have had. Superb.

Sampled from: Bottle

ABV – 5%

Would I recommend? Yes

Would I buy again? Yes

Rating: 5/5

Avaans – Belgian Dubbel

This was lovely, all the usual character of a Belgian brown beer, with a distinct chocolatiness, it tasted way richer and stronger than the ABV suggested and was a nice sipping beer, I really savoured it.

Sampled from: Can

Country of Origin: Belgium

ABV – 6%

Would I recommend? Yes

Would I buy again? Yes

Rating: 5/5

Kirkstall – Virtuous

A nice, delicate, refreshing IPA, claims to be an “Aromatic Session IPA”, I guess that refers to the floral notes that can be picked up. All in all, not bad.

Sampled from: Can

ABV – 4.5%

Would I recommend? Yes

Would I buy again? Yes

Rating: 3/5

Steen Brugge – Blond

A lovely Belgian abbey beer. All the usual taste of the nice soft warmth associated with the Belgian yeast, enhanced with spices? Well it has a slight banana flavour to it, and a nice additional warmth. A lovely beer.

Moondog – Old Mate

This was a surprise package, it has a caramel sort of taste with lots of nice fruitiness, like mellow citrus fruits, couldn’t pinpoint the specifics, but a really nice beer.

Brewdog – Mallow Laser Quest

This is nice, very full on pineapple, fruity and juicy, with a sweetness borne out of the marshmallow flavouring, almost a bit vanilla. Its nice, perhaps a bit sweet, couldnt drink more than one at a time, but all in all not a bad beer.

Sampled from: Can

ABV – 6%
