Johnnie Walker Black Ruby: was looking forward to this, but meh disappointing. It's fruity, but bland, smooth, no burn, not much to say, jammy, red wine, as expected from bottle notes, no real flavour or anything special, the fruitiness has taken away the "whiskiness", not added anything meaningful

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. seriouspig.co.uk 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

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

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 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.

@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

The Hop Foundry Marshmallow Stout 4.5% (Aldi collab with @SEVENBRO7HERS ) – it’s an ok stout, slight marshmallow aftertaste, not as sweet as some marshmallow stouts, slightly carbonated

Looks like they've changed @hobgoblinbeer Imperial Ruby Beer again, now 6.6%, no mention of Wychwood/ Hobgoblin, Hobgoblin is on the bottle. Label just says Carlsberg Marstons :( However, pretty good, full of flavour, not too bitter, rich & smooth, which is good, was always my fave of that range.

@azvexbrewing The Redemption of Vanity: 13% peanut butter brownie imperial #stout. Glad to say it's very nice, but the price of it should be! Very rich, full of flavour. Very moreish, but at this strength, won't :)

Not sure I've seen Murphy's in Tesco before, 4.0%, it's ok, quite creamy, slightly bitter, not really better or worse than Guinness, plenty of better stouts out there.

#IlkleyBrewery Nowt Mary 0.5% alcohol free milk stout. Not bad, a little gassy for a milk #stout rather than smooth, a little watery but worth trying, one of the better alcohol free beers.

@saltbeerfactory x @vivirtequila cafe #stout 7% . interesting coffee liqueur inspired stout, was in reduced section in Tesco :) it's interesting, if there's any left this weekend will get the rest :) it's silky as it says on can, rather than "normal" creamy like a stout. Not too sweet or bitter.
