Old Slug | RCH Brewery | 4.50 | Coffee and chocolate focused porter. Notes of blackcurrant and black cherry. | 6.5 |
Steam Sleigh | RCH Brewery | 3.80 | Light gold with bitter caramel, light with citrus zest. Light color with small but pleasant head. Sweet aroma. Nothing Christmasy | 7.0 |
Redhook ESB | Redhook | 5.80 | Like full sail, with extra bitterness. ESB might be modeled after UK-style ESB, but it isn't. | 7.5 |
Rhymney Dark | Rhymney | 4.00 | Good rounded brown mild, with touches of licorice. Aftertaste cuts out immediately, but returns seconds later with bitterness. | 7.0 |
Old Bob | Ridley's, through Greene King | 5.10 | Rounded, smooth, red bitter. Dark fruity aroma. Enjoyable direct mouthfeel. | 8.0 |
Rigas Pils | Rigas | 5.20 | Lithuianian pils with slightly sharp bitterness. Highly CO2, which holds. | 5.5 |
Stout Kong Arthur | Rise Bryggeri | 6.00 | Dense black beer, with roast grain and bitter chocolate on the nose. Rich roasted grain and smooth warming taste, between a stout and a mild. Would hold its own in the UK stout market | 8.0 |
ÆRØ Grolle Pilsner | Rise Bryggeri | 4.60 | Golden with fizz appearance with pleasant citrus aroma. Creamy pils with bitterness. Taste lingers longer than other pils beers. Compares well to Bangla. | 7.0 |
Indian Pale Ale | Rise Bryggeri | 5.50 | Pleasant golden colour but undiscernable aroma. On a par with most other UK IPA's however a little less bitter. Slight caramel after taste. Organic version is more sour, this is sweeter. | 7.3 |
ÆRØ Hertug Hans - No 5 Valnod | Rise Bryggeri | 7.00 | Good transition beer, that red fruit colour and maple aroma and flavour in a beer. Good with ribs or proper burger and chips with American bbq sauces or other sweet smoky sauces with a tomato base. Elements of AoverT or Tay Berry. | 7.5 |
ÆRØ Dark Ale | Rise Bryggeri | 6.00 | Deep brown colour with a mild grain smell. Tastes of rich solid roasted grain, with a hint of caramel. Would hold it's own against most UK brown ales. The organic version has elements of cognac. | 7.5 |
Yule Ale | Rise Bryggeri | 7.00 | Reddish ale with sweet and slightly spicy tang and gentle fizz. Has notes of a less rich ESB. Touch of banana. | 9.0 |
Old Tom | Robinsons | 8.50 | Strong ale, good lasting head. Warm pepperish taste that's pure liquid licorice. A comfort beer, in every sense. | 9.0 |
Mr Scrooge | Robinsons | 4.40 | Ruby colour and minimal off-white head. Thin texture, rolling bitterness over tongue. Light caramel with nutty tones. | 7.0 |
Cwrw Draig Aur | Robinsons | 4.10 | Disapointing beer from an other exceptional brewer. The empty malt taste belies the apparent full body and rich malt and hops. | 6.0 |
Rochefort Trappist 10 | Rochefort | 11.30 | Deep rich aroma, chocolate with sweetness and licorice. | 9.5 |
Black hole | Roman | 5.60 | Grolsch with a metallic hue. But, considering it’s only a pils, it’s not that bad. | 4.0 |
Adriaen Brouwer | Roman | 5.00 | Highly fermented brown beer, dark taste, but hollow | 4.0 |
Honeyfuzz | Rothervalley | 3.80 | Dark golden colour, with mild sweetness on nose, and dark honey-ish taste. Fuller bitter aftertaste. Not traditional honey in any way. | 7.0 |
Nazca IPA | Rothhammer | 4.70 | Very clean golden beer, with thin body similar to Einstock. | 7.0 |
Brave Red Ale | Rothhammer | 4.50 | Deep amber with red. Cream head. Fruit touches with orange and sweetness. | 7.0 |
