Negatory on that Big Ben, it ain't retired - we got a convoy! Very black body and some okay foam. Sweet chocolatey molasses aroma, though it's all too muddled. Taste is sweet cocoa, soft maraschino cherry, ending a little dry and somewhat sweet. Too subdued to do its title justice.

Retired? Things are never retired at Storm, just on hiatus! Good coppery red body and nice foam. Soft blueberry aroma with very slight pastry notes. Taste is bitter fruit, sweet blueberry aftertaste and some pastry notes. That earthiness is misplaced, this needs work. Still it's nice to see Storm at something resembling its previous vibe, it is more than welcome.

Clear gold body and good foam. Seems like soft licorice on the nose witg some vague hops, either way not working very well. Taste is a good dill pickle brine, salty, vague hop base. Delivers what's promised in a pretty good way, which might be surprising.

Okay gold and modest chewy foam. Lots of lime on the nose, very fruity, but I'm not picking up the black pepper. Taste is good fruity lime, soft grain with a mellow peppery finish. A bit easy, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

473mL can, pours a deep dark red with a tiny white head. Aroma is pleasant, with gentle raspberries, plenty of must, and a bit of barnyard. Flavour is interesting, with lots of musty barnyard funk, plenty of soft brett, horse blanket, and deep raspberries. Not an authentic lambic by any means, but I must say I'm impressed by the brett, funk, and raspberry cohesion and completely. Very low acidity, with a soft, musty, barnyardy finish. Surprisingly good.

Poured from the tap. Hazy medium dark brown with small off-white head. Mild raspberry, pith, touch of vinegar, and a tiny bit of possibly veg? Nothing special.

Good brownish copper body and nice creamy foam. Really big smoke aroma, leathery but slightly sweet, you'll love it or hate it. Taste is an earthy smokiness, smoked salmon and brown sugar, hitting this mark very well but no other ones. Ends a little thin sadly, but otherwise an excellent smoke bomb.
