Black Brewing – Bao Bao Milk Stout.
This is in cans now, and it doesnt seem as viscous and milk-stouty as before. The back of the can says its “sessionable”, not sure if that was on the bottle, so maybe they changed the recipe? (pretty sure they have). Regardless, it is still a very nice beer, and for the flavour – there is some sweetness, good bitterness, some very dark, black and even peaty malts going on – it is actually quite “sessionable”. (Bottled 28/5/20)

Green Beacon – Cafe Creme Brulee
An Imperial Pastry Stout with coffee, vanilla and lactose. This is very nice, not as cloying and sweet as I expect from a pastry beer. Very boozy. Very rich. Unsure when this was canned, I have had this once before and there was a bit more vanilla, more forward “lively” coffee flavours, nose is mainly dark malts and cocoa now, and was a bit sweeter. This is very much like a boozy dubbel or something now, strong on the booze but it works well with the dark bitter malts and still very nice. 8.5%.

Green Beacon – ESB
This is a bit stronger than a “normal” ESB I think? 5.7%. Its very nice and has a great bitterness, I dont think its the standard UK hops though, not as crisp. Good malt character, and good balance. Nice biscuity malt and slightly dank nose. Its a pretty great beer I have had a few times now.
