For me one proper and honest beer review is more worth than 100 ticks without any relevant content. It’s all about respect for the beer and the craftmanship behind. I will always try to do my best for a proper rating than playing the number game.

Backlog August 2013 as Yellowtail Pale Ale (4.6% ABV). Clear golden body under a white head. Mild aroma with malt and citric fruits. Taste is quite plain but refreshing, pale malt, citric and grassy hops, moderate bitter. As this was rated in 2013 as a pale ale I wonder if I would have considerate this different with Kölsch on the label?

Can @ home. Almost black body under a nice, foamy beige head. Aroma has roasted dark malt, coffee and chocolate. Taste is well balanced, smooth roasted, dark malt, a fine touch of coffee and dark chocolate with balanced bitterness. Fine body and pleasant aftertaste. Very nice, classic stout. Ticks all the boxes, not much to complain about here.

Backlog March 2009, 2004 vintage. Amber with no head. Aroma has caramel, raisins, dry fruit and acidity. Taste is very sweet with malt, dry fruit, Sherry, cellar notes and slightly sour, alcoholic finish. Fine body, long lasting aftertaste. Quite nice, but more a really interesting brew.
