4/10 “Ale matured in whisky casks” The casks they used had Highland Park Scotch Whiskey in which is pretty smokey and sweet. Not one for me. 8%

4/10 A Christmas scotch ale from Brewdog. It’s dark and sweet. Not bad! But I prefer my Christmas beers with a bit more fruit and spice. 4.5%
Plum Porter
4/10 A dark and strong plum porter from the Titanic brewery. It has a good bitter sweet start but I found it an overly sweet finish. A bit too rich for my mood. 4.9%
Montezuma’s chocolate lager
4/10 Chocolate lager from the Hogs Back Brewery. Actually tastes of proper chocolate, not a slight hint like others I’ve tried. Decent experiment but you couldn’t have too many at one – too sweet. 4.5%

A black beer brewed with dark roasted barley and coffee beans Dark Star brewery were named after the music of the Grateful Dead (60’s rock band) and… Read more »
Becks
4/10 Brewed in Bremen, Germany. One of the only lagers that tastes of anything. If you’re stuck between this and one of the usual keg lagers then go for this. There are much better lagers out there now e.g. Samuel Adams Boston Lager, Pistonhead Full Amber, Brooklyn Lager
