Bottle from Hop Hideout, Sheffield. Clear, darkest red. Thin, lasting, tan head. Lightly smoked, thick, ripe, dark fruit. Some vanilla in there, too. Taste is an initial prune sweetness, that gives way to a woody, ashy dryness. Lightly chewy palate. Not as dry as I might have expected, but nevertheless, a very tasty porter.

330ml bottle from Beermoth. By the strength of this and the Pannetone it seems Mad Hatter pretty much has the Tripel style nailed. Extremely rich full flavoured blend, perhaps a little syrupy, but still among the best UK attempts at the style. Struggled to taste the truffles which was a shame, but still a very enjoyable beer.

Bottle: Gusher. Nose is Belgian yeast a little playdo(?), celler, dust, nothing of the panettone in the nose. Taste is caramel, dough, yeast a little honey, strange dry note in the after taste. Nothing like a panettone at all. A passable triple but no more. Edit. By half way, the flat playdo Taste dominates. This is actively unpleasant. Drain pour.

330ml bottle from Beermoth. Great, full-tasting tripel, ever so slightly creamy and a touch more sweetness than its Belgian coutnerparts. Really tried to pick up some saffron or in fact any additional spiciness at all but alas couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed. Nevertheless, a nice tripel.

Bottle from Hop Hideout, Sheffield. Hazy, golden colour. Creamy, thick, persistent, white head. Big, boozy, bready, spicy (clove?) aroma. Crystallised fruit. Saffron definitely in there too. Taste is barley sugar sweet. Dried citrus and vinous fruit dryness brings up the rear. Palate is big bodied, but fresh. This beer is big, but not daft. Good stuff.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a cloudy medium amber with a thin white head with broken white lace. The aroma is big grassy aromatic hop and zesty citrus fruit. The flavour is medium to strong bitter with a big liqourice bitter alcoholic malt mint spice hop palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a long bitter finish. A super DIPA.
