Craft beer festival in progress with beers from small breweries where cost doesn't prohibit the use of plenty of good ingredients.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Bristol Beer Factory - Hazelnut Latte Stout4.50ExceptionalSuper smooth stout with an excellent silky mouthfeel. Sweet coffee and roast malt flavours make for a full bodied flavour. Finish is of sweet, milky coffee. My score 18/20.
Arbor Ales - Single Hop - Citra4.00ExcellentLots of lemony citrus hoppiness in this pale bitter. A good fruity citrus finish. My score 16/20.
Dawkins - Scorpio Stout7.00ExcellentDry roasty strong stout with lots of roast malt flavour. Well hopped, with hoppiness coming through in the finish. My score 16/20.
Arbor Ales - Breakfast Stout7.40ExcellentA pint of this for breakfast would probably provide you with nutrition for the rest of the day. Huge amount of roast malt with grainy cereal flavours as well, chocolate malt also evident with a dash of coffee too. Hops come through in the finish which is intense and lingering. My score 17/20.
Arbor Ales - Inferiority Complex3.40AcceptableLots of bitterness in this beer for such a low ABV. Ruby red colour makes you think it's a mild, but in taste it certainly isn't. Bitterness is rather unbalanced with little malt character present. My score 14/20.
Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Chiron5.00AcceptableA pale strong bitter with a dry, bitter citrus hop character. A little too much spicy, dry hop flavour for my taste but a well brewed beer. My score 14/20.

Cheddar - Mild Cheddar3.60ExcellentRuby/mid brown coloured mild in the West Country style. Low hop rate and soft biscuity malt flavours and a pleasant sweetish and fruity finish. My score 16/20.
