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.

Tap @ Melkebaren. Almost black body under a lacing, beige head. Mild aroma of light roasted malt with a hint of chocolate. Taste is sweet, light roasted malt, dry fruit and a hint of chocolate. Medium body and average aftertaste. Decent but quite straight forward.

Tap @ Melkebaren. Hazy, pale yellow body under a white head. Moderate aroma, not particular fruity, rather strange. Taste is quite plain with some malt, hint of yeast, hint of fruit and moderate bitterness. Medium to light bodied with short aftertaste. Perhaps a bit old as the previous ratings are a lot more optimistic. Well that’s the world of volatile NEIPA.

Alcohol is well integrated. Fine body with a refreshing aftertaste as well. The best NEIPA I had from the Melkebaren selection this week.

Can @ Telfords. Close to pitch black body under a big, foamy beige head. Aroma has dark malt, roasted coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is very smooth, mild roasted, dark malt, some coffee and dark chocolate and medium bitterness. Balanced body with a smooth, nice aftertaste as well. Nice and tasty stout without any nonsense that shouldn’t be able to offend anyone.
