Vanilla Stout. Smooth, creamy and malty, the vanilla is nice, and not overly sweet.

This wasn’t as sour as I was expecting, in fact on occasion it tasted a bit watery. A nice peachy colour, with a lot of dark red sediment. It was very fruity and juicy, couldn’t quite pinpoint exactly what it tasted of, but it does list on the can that it contains plum, so I am guessing this!
All in all, not a bad beer.

A Hazelnut Stout. An odd one this, and not what I was expecting. . . I have tried a few beers infused with Hazelnut previously and they all seem to have the sweet nuttiness you expect from say nutella etc. This is very, very different. If you have ever eaten a hazelnut with the skin still on it, it has a really bitter and earthy flavour to it. this comes through massively in this beer, its kind of wholenut rather than essence. Its OK, but not really for me.

Pine-Lime Ice Cream IPA.
Slightly hazy, sweet, smooth and creamy, nice vanilla undertones with a super pineapple flavour and a slight twang of lime aftertaste. Really nice.

A super smooth, creamy and silky stout, nice malty flavours with a slight roasted harshness to round it off. Nothing fancy, a good old fashioned stout, made properly.

An Espresso Martini Milk Stout.
Very disappointed in this one. Its nice and well rounded, but the coffee taste was not what I was expecting, its kind of subtle, also it lacked the sweetness you expect from its namesake. A good stout, a poor coffee beer.

A fresh and hoppy DDH pale ale. Not as hazy as most I have sampled, but similar tasting. Using New Zealand sourced hops in honour of the town of Haast in New Zealand where the largest fossilised remains of an eagle were found.

A mango pale ale. Its fruity, but a bit too hoppy for my liking, with the hops overpowering the fruitiness of the mangoes.
Not too bad in general.

The second release of their state of mind Barrel Aged series, and its great!
A Chocolate and coffee imperial breakfast milk stout which has been barrel aged in Wild Turkey Bourbon casks for 18 months.
You can taste all of the individual flavours and it is just such a smooth, yet strong, sipping beer. Awesome!
