Einbecker

Einbecker (6.5%)

This German "wonder-beer" has a largery smell yet doesn't taste too generic but there is little flavour and is very redundant in the taste department. It is a crisp and smooth drink and a rather pleasant beer to sip. Has a bit of raspy blandness going on, but Al says; give it a whirlio.

Rating: Average at best

Noir de Dottignies

Noir de Dottignies (9%)

Fantastic aromas, Chimay potential. Genuinely nice. Has a musky look and much like the everglades of Florida its a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Medium bodied and goes down nicely with caramel and fruity notes.

Rating: Stamp of approval/One scrumptious solution

Malheur 10

 Malheur 10 (10%)

Super fizzy at the pour but settles down into a golden colour of fun. It's deceivingly accessible for its strength and brings about images of wildebeest in the Serengeti. Not a hint of migration scheduled into this beers diary. It's rather like a poor mans Duvel, but worth a try!

Rating: Reasonable Refreshment

Brooklyn Oktoberfest

Brooklyn Oktoberfest (5.5%)

Dark amber honey coloured, smooth and kinky. Tastes like a snake on a plane. notforsamuel-l.com. Despite its cheap appearance, its not quite a diamond in the rough... more a quarter ionised ruby in the bunker.
