Can, Day 5 of my Mr Hop beer advent calendar from their webshop, Venray, Netherlands, I'm clearly a few days behind with this one. Consumed this Friday 12th December 2025, cooking Thomasina Miers Picadillo (Mexican Chile) however this is for other meals, we we're actually having Dishoom Masala Prawns and another curry of Masala Chicken with Pulau Rice and Poppadoms and Raita, however after the poppadoms, pickle tray, raita etc we were full 🤣. 🎧 to Afrodeutscha on 6Music. Pours pitch black with a light tan head that soon departs into the inky depths. Light coffee, vanilla and roasted malts dominate the aroma. These three also come through in the mouth, which is creamy and thick, however their presence here is a little more subtle. It's a touch sweet and a little bit boozy at times, but it's certainly not in yer' face and is pretty decent. Score 7.1

Bottle picked up from Mr Hop webshop Vernray, Netherlands. Consumed this Friday 12th December 2025, cooking Thomasina Miers Picadillo (Mexican Chile) however this is for other meals, we were actually having Dishoom Masala Prawns and another curry of Masala Chicken with Pulau Rice and Poppadoms and Raita, however the poppadoms filled us up 🤣. 🎧 to Afrodeutscha on 6Music. Pours shark eye black with a head that was rapidly swallowed up by the inky depths. Warmth from the chilli gives a nice kick, also a pleasant chocolate streak throughout. Smooth, warming and a little boozy, lovely stuff. Score 7.5

Can courtesy of Baz, cheers Baz!. I added this to the beer calendar that I curated for Loz and this was the Day 7 beer however not consumed until day 12 as we shared this Friday 12th December 2025, cooking Thomasina Miers Picadillo (Mexican Chile) however this is for other meals, we were actually having Dishoom Masala Prawns and another curry of Masala Chicken with Pulau Rice and Poppadoms and Raita, however the poppadoms filled us up 🤣. 🎧 to Afrodeutscha on 6Music. Pours pitch black, inky black, there was a head but it disappeared rapidly. Nice aroma, toffee, peanut brittle but a touch artificial, I like it but it's not quite right. Taste is hugely sweet, it's a great beer but wow unbelievably sweet, thickness in the mouth, huge toffee and caramel. I've got to give it a good score because it's a good beer, but, it's unreal....too sweet. Score 7.0

Bottle picked up from Landshut I think. Consumed this Friday 12th December 2025, cooking Thomasina Miers Picadillo (Mexican Chile) however this is for other meals, we were actually having Dishoom Masala Prawns and another curry of Masala Chicken with Pulau Rice and Poppadoms and Raita, however the poppadoms filled us up 🤣. 🎧 to Huw Stephens and now Afrodeutscha on 6Music. Pours hazy amber with a white head. The hoppiness is shy but it's there. Light caramel notes, bitterness is subtle its a solid marzen. Score 6.9

Can, Day 11 of my Mr Hop beer advent calendar from their webshop, Venray, Netherlands. Consumed this Friday 12th December 2025, cooking Thomasina Miers Picadillo (Mexican Chile) however this is for other meals, we're actually having Dishoom Masala Prawns and another curry of Masala Chicken with Pulau Rice and Poppadoms and Raita. 🎧 to Huw Stephens on 6Music. Pours light amber with a large white head that dropped swiftly. The aroma is certainly wheaty but also a little boozy, there are hints of banana and clove but these come through more in the mouth. Nice mouthfeel, there's a nice bite a little bannoffee. Good. Score 7.4

Can, Day 6 Mr Hop advent calendar picked this up from the webshop, Vernray, Netherlands. Had this on what is actually day 11, Thursday 11th December 2025. 🎧 to Huw Stephens on 6Music, it's Round Table and we have Fish Fingers, Chips and Peas for tea tonight 🥳. Pours rich ruby reddish brown, light hazy with an off white head. Pleasant aroma, a little wet wood, I guess it's oaky, thick in the mouth, smooth, rich, caramel, toffee and vanilla. This is very nice and drinks far easier than a 11.5% beer should. Score 7.4
