4 Drinks

Wolf of the Willows – The S’Mores Man Toasted Marshmallow Nitro Amber Ale. 6.2% 355ml can. Biscuit malts, real roasted marshmallows, vanilla, Mork organic cacao nibs.
Dark amber kind of cloudy colour, a big head because I should have used a pint glass. Caramel slightly biscuit malt and “lagery” yeast smell.
Taste is slightly sweet and vanilla, great biscuity flavor, not cloying in anyway, extremely smooth. The biscuit character is just fantastic. More vanilla/marshmallow, and maybe cacao arrives in the aftertaste as you sip. The biscuit character is the winner here. Very nice.

Dainton Brewery – Fudge Dredd Double Choc Fudge Porter. 8% 355ml can. No ingredients listed.
Big thick brown head, viscous pour, smells like molasses and roasted malts. Taste is a big dark malt hit, slight burnt black malt character, cocoa more than chocolate, a sweetness like molassess, slightly boozy. Theres bitterness but its balanced with the darkest malt flavors and the alcohol. This is big and very rich, not as sweet as I expected from the fudge in the title. Nice.

Brookvale Union – Spiced Rum Ginger Beer & Vodka Peach Iced Tea. 4% and 330ml cans each.

Brookvale Union is 4 Pines Brewing making pre-mixed drinks, and they aren’t bad according to these two.
The spiced rum ginger beer is not bad, could do with more spice and ginger beer heat. The rum isnt very noticable after a while but seems apparent on the first few sips. Extremely drinkable.

The Vodka Peach Iced Tea though is excellent, it is exactly like Liptonice Peach Iced Tea but carbonated, the peach flavour is strong and good, you can really taste it and also smell it from a distance, the tea is there just like it is in Liptonice, and you cant taste the alcohol. This was excellent and I hope they make more Ice Tea varieties. Again, extremely drinkable.
