I don't really tick much nowadays. Still enjoy a decent beer just as much, along with the community that Ratebeer originally built.

I've not moved to that popular app and never will - It's become a monopoly which is having too much influence on today's craft beer scene.

Maybe it’s the long hall flight I’ve just come off, maybe it’s the tropical heat. I don’t know, but I like it. A well made crisp lager from this new craft brewery in the Seychelles.

Bottle at home as a good beer to enjoy before going to another land of likely no good beer. Black pour with no head. Huge vanilla and bourbon aroma. The booze is hidden and doesn’t come out until you drink it, when you get this lovely boozy bourbon warmth along with a lovely thick oily texture. Damn good.

Bottle at home from trade. It’s a black pour with some coconut floaters. Damn. Then I smell it. Lovely bourbon with coconut in a great way. Real coconut, not the suntan lotion crap you get with too many beers nowadays. The bourbon and vanilla is rich and decadent. Cocoa and chocolate in a lovely boozy but not over the top way. Best coconut bourbon RIS I’ve had since Prop ‘13. This is a damn treat for sure. A nice semi thick texture seals the deal. Thank you, and good night!

Bottle at home from trade. Black with pretty much no head. It’s super intense vanilla on the nose with lovely bourbon, oak, a touch of booze and spicy notes. Damn. It’s sweet but certainly it cloying or too far. With a lovely fairly thick texture too this is a winner. Great stuff!
