Johnnie Walker Black Ruby….was looking forward to trying this, 2 words, meh, disappointing. As it says it's fruity, but it's just bland, it's very smooth, no burn, but there's not really a lot to say about it, kind of jammy, red wine, as expected from the notes on the bottle, but no real flavour or anything special about it, it's almost as if adding the fruitiness to it, has taken away the normal flavour, rather than added anything meaningful to it. Better off buying a nice whisky or nice red.

First of the dark beers from the @beer52hq mixed box, Nostalgia brewery - Dark reef robust porter, 3.8% for a "low" strength porter it's not bad, it's ok, nothing special, went to cancel subscription but got good offer on another box, so ordered, but not renewed again

Opened the Vocation Brewery vs. Serious Pig box. Great start, snacking cheese is crisp and tasty, and the Life & Death classic IPA at 6.5% is as it says, classic IPA, tasty, full bodied, refreshing. https://seriouspig.co.uk/ https://www.vocationbrewery.com/

3rd and best so far from @beer52hq box, @jumpbrewing pale ale, 4.5% , as it says clean and crisp, not as fruity as the text says, but that's fine by me, subtle rather than in your face.

2nd @beer52hq beer box, @badnewsbeercompany tropical unicorn session IPA, 4.1%, again not really my thing, as it says it is easy drinking, but doesn't really have much flavour, which for a summer fruit beer is actually good for me, but just seems bland

@northernmonk collab with @timothytaylorsbrewery unity nitro stout, 4.4%, have to get this direct from NM or in Morrisons. Nothing outstanding, but quite nice, rich and smooth, creamy.

First beer from my mixed light and dark trial @beer52hq box. It's ok, only 3.4% Buro pale ale, has that "soapy" taste which puts me off pale and session ales.

@holygoatbrewing Foehammer imperial stout 2024 edition. Wow, this is excellent, ticks all the right boxes(but at this price should do). It's smooth, rich, creamy, full of flavour, smokey, pretty much perfect. 11.2% though, hence the hefty price tag, but worth it. One is enough!

More Lidl Belgian beers: £8.99 4 330ml 7.5% St Feuillien blonde. It's okay, has some flavour, but not as good as the last two.

the 10.5% Piraat triple hop. £9.99 for 4 330ml bottles. It's v nice, v smooth and drinkable, doesn't taste strong, dangerous:)

Another Lidl Belgian Beer, Bornem blonde, 6% £5.99 for 4 330ml bottles. Pretty good, I preferred last week's but at this price no complaints, good for a sunny day, very drinkable, at this strength could be dangerous;)

#Belgian beer

Belgian beer in Lidl again, @brouwerijvansteenberge Leute Bokbier, 330ml 7.5% , £6.99 for 4 bottles. Quite gassy for a red beer, but the maltiness makes it very nice and drinkable.

@sirencraftbrew Broken Dream nitro breakfast stout, 6.5%, excellent stuff, smooth, rich creamy, full of flavour, hints of chocolate , coffee, but well balanced, nothing overpowering, recommended https://www.sirencraftbrew.com/browse/stout-and-porter

@lervigbeer nitro stout 4.7% . The nitro does make it very smooth and creamy, but this Irish style stout, from Norway has a funny bitter aftertaste I'm not keen on :(

#stout #craft beer

@otterbrewery Otter Ale 4.5% . Very nice traditional #ale, full of flavour, malty, recommended https://otterbrewery.com/core-beers/otter-ale/

#real ale #ale

The Hop Foundry Marshmallow Stout 4.5% (Aldi collab with Seven Bro7ers) - it's an ok stout, slight marshmallow aftertaste, not as sweet as some marshmallow stouts, slightly carbonated, it's ok https://www.sevenbro7hers.com/

@northernmonk x @getbakeduk Bertha chocolate cake stout, 8.4% another really good stout from Northern Monk, tastes like as described on the can :) https://www.northernmonk.com/products/get-baked-northern-monk-bertha-chocolate-cake-stout-8-4?_pos=2&_fid=0da519b66&_ss=c

Looks like they've changed Hobgoblin Imperial Ruby Beer again, now 6.6%, and no mention of Wychwood or Hobgoblin on the label, but Hobgoblin is on the bottle. Label just says Carlsberg Marstons :( However, it is pretty good, full of flavour, not too bitter, rich and smooth, which is good, as it was always my favourite of that range.
