Clear very dark red - brown beer. Small tan head. Smooth palate. Nicely balanced porter. Dark malt which is mild and neither bitter or roasty. Mild tang and a good dose of lactose sweetness. Finishes semi crisp. Really nice light porter - could session this, and not come across too many porters like that!

Opaque black beer, small tan head. Milky dark malt nose. Smooth semi soft palate. Nice dark malt - robust but not bitter and with lactose creamy sweetness. Nice smooth Impy, not much complexity but quite sumptuous.

Clear amber beer, very large and frothy off white head. Good malt base, trace of toffee and a pinch of salt. Pine hops and some faded orange. Are all these Hopshackle IPAs really IPAs - this is yet another that comes over as barleywine and not a great one.

Clear gold beer, tidy white head. Honey malt nose. Softish dry palate. Minerally soft malt, sweetish orange, trace of honey. Turns pretty creamy with a whisper of peach. Finishes soft and dry but with a trailing carbonated sting. Nice beer, needs to warm up from the fridge to get the best of it.
