Stouts

Hops & Dots – Oat Milk Brownie Stout

I wasn’t sure about this at first. Its quite hoppy, but does follow through with a copious amount of chocolate. Its a really solid, smooth stout, and one for those who want a chocolately flavoured beer, but not too sweet.

Vocation Vs. Pomona Island – Imperial Mocha

Wow, now this is one of the best beers I have ever tried, period. . .

Its barrel aged in oak bourbon barrels and is an Chocolate, Hazlenut and Coffee imperial stout.

All of the flavours are there, sumptuous, rich chocolate, nutty hazelnut and a nice edge of coffee rounded off perfectly by the oakiness of the barrel aging. Absolutely superb, go on! treat yourself!

ABV – 12.4%

Vocation Vs. Double Barrelled – Double Maple & Pecan

This is an imperial strength, barrel aged, pecan pie double stout. Its strong in alcohol, but not necessarily taste, IE. it doesn’t seem as alcoholic as the ABV suggests.

The flavour is complex, with a sweetness to it, but definately doesn’t particularly taste of either maple or pecan. The main flavour is the oakiness from the barrel aging process. Not that this is a problem at all, a beautiful beer that demands to be savoured.

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.

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.
