0.9 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 2/20
No rates for over 3 years? Hardly surprising. 59p bottle from Hinckley B+M. Dark ruby with a slim beige rim. Just smells totally wrong with a burnt jam/cooked vomit/hobo’s sock sweetness like Nigerian Guinness that makes me want to wretch. Sorgum? No, definitely sock. I really don’t want to put this in my mouth. Regurgitated Bacardi and cola Panda Pop flavour, cloying and impossible. World-beatingly, irredeemably vile beer like (I would imagine) another person, probably a teenage binge-drinker, being forcibly sick in your mouth. One for the raters. The worst I’ve found yet.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
An unclear brown beer with a huge bubbly lazing head. The aroma is sweet herbal. While the flavor is very sweet with a slight artificial touch as well as light notes of caramel. The end is dry, but yet sticky. I rather have a gluten beer ;-)
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle. Brown colour with a big beige head. Apple, rotten fruits aroma and taste, light sour. Medium body with a light dry finish.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Deep reddish colour with a light brown head. Malty aroma with a light fruity touch, hints of alcohol. Malty and fruity flavor with a light sweetness. Alcohol sweet finish.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Pours a dark reddish brown wit a tanned head. Sweet with strange aromas of apples and pears. Perfumed. Not quite like a stout. Awfu. lMaybe it should have contained some of what it doesn´t (eg. fish, milk or celery).
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Brown colored with medium sparkly head. A bit nutty and fruity. Tastes way to artificial for me. Kinda perfumed and glue like.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled: This is a quite special brew. I love the label as it states at the beer is wheat-free. How nice! The brew is quiete spicey and complex with many unreal tastes. A psychedelic beer.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled. Reddish brown coloured. Loads of pears in the aroma with notes of glue. Sweet flavour with loads of nuts and also many different chemicals, but in a rather nice way. Pear aftertaste. A very funny beer
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Tasted 17/02/2006. 330ml bottle from New World, Island Bay.
Dark brown, almost black, with a walnut hue in the light. Lightish tan head, disappears quickly and leaves a mild lace. Not a great sweet and sour combination on the nose suggests caramel, crystal grain, choc-chip cookie, green apples, sawdust and slightly toasted grainy bread. Sweet caramel up front with a touch of chocolate, coffee and sour milk through the middle, and a very grainy, tannic, astringent finish. Medium weight but lively carbonation. Sour, woody, lingering flavour. Must be unfiltered because, although there were no crustaceans or celery, there was certainly a heap of sediment in the bottom of the bottle.
