Reviews of individual beers.

Shepherd Neame – Bishops Finger

Well, I remember trying this years ago and hating it. I can only think that my pallette has changed a bit. . . Its nice, quite bitter and with a smokiness to it. Not a bad pint at all really.

Sampled from: Bottle

ABV – 5.4%

S43 – The Beast

Smoked Russian imperial stout.

Interesting one, the smell is mega, just smells like burnt wood! Really wasnt sure about this. First sip was super hard hitting but. . . Surprisingly, it mellows by the second mouthful. A really rich, chocolatey, beautiful beer.

Sampled from: Can

ABV – 12%

Play Brew – Maple & Pecan Waffle Milk Stout

Nice, soft, tasty and sweet. A decent pint, but there seems to be a number of maple and pecan beers kicking around this winter and this definately aint the best I have had. If you want a better standard strength one, try https://beer.smifftech.co.uk/brew-york-fairytale-of-brewyork or if you fancy something a little stronger, try https://beer.smifftech.co.uk/top-rope-imperial-canadian-destroyer. Both nicer.

Brew York – Barack Oklava

Wow, brewed to commemorate a time when America had a better president and more dignified politics.

This is one of the sweetest, nuttiest and generally lovely beers I have tried. It is designed to taste a little of Baklava, a desert from the middle east which is packed full of walnut and pistachio’s. These flavours really come through. A delightful beer from start to finish. A fine imperial milk stout.

Sampled from: Can

ABV – 9.5%
