Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Green Tye - Coal Porter | 4.50 | ![]() | Black with no real head. Smells of slightly sour malt and grain. Big sour taste with hints of oats and a low level burnt finish |
Spectrum - Black Buffle Stout | 4.50 | ![]() | Good sparse copper-cream head. Smelt of watery stale coffee. Lots of coffee and whiskey flavours. Medium bodied with a sweet bitter burnt finish |
Hopstar - Smokey Joe Porter | 4.00 | ![]() | Lots of vanilla in this jet black porter. Smooth and bitter with a rough vanilla finish |
Hidden - Potential | 4.80 | ![]() | Listed as a Hilden beer but hey, with a name like 'Potential' I guessed straight away it was a Hidden beer. Copper coloured with a syrupy smell and tangy rich, slightly syrupy bite and dulled bitter finish |
Alehouse - Milk & Alcohol | 4.40 | ![]() | Thin body, jet black, with sparse head. Smelt of mild coffee. A milky coffe sour taste. Too cloying for a 4/5 so 3.5/5 |
Nethergate (was Nethergate Growler for a while then name reverted) - Black Shadow (superseded by 4.7% version) | 3.50 | ![]() | Couldn't work out if this was 1 minute away from going off or whether it was supposed to taste like this. Big sour bite with burnt finish on this black mild |
Bartrams - Mother Mcleary's Stout | 4.30 | ![]() | Mild seaweed smell. Acrid, but watery, taste with coffee bitter finish |
