Chimay Yellow

    Chimay Yellow (8.0%)

A wintery appearance with a sudden, almost frightening taste. Bitch slapped by carbonation, a fizzy pow! Fairly fruity filled with groovy grape and hop flavours. Not as pleasant as the red or blue, least favourite Chimay in fact but dont be fooled it's still a satisfying drinking experience.



Rating: Reasonable Refreshment

This beer has a smokey and pleasant taste. It's full bodied with a dark colour and has a chesnut/hazelnut twinge. It's a slow sipper, a slippery nipple and would taste delightful in a nice rural pub. It's not fantastic, nor memorable... but worth a try!

Young's Double Chocolate Stout


Young's Double Chocolate Stout (5.2%)

Intriguing, it has a very dark pour. Cocoa powder on the smell senses. Reminiscent of Christmas. A nice beer but couldn't drink it all day, just like I couldn't eat chocolate all day.

Hay fevery scent, smooth/flat, similar to licking a dewy spring Kent meadow. A slow drinker, a teenagers balls would drop quicker. The honey is a little too subtle!

Tooheys Extra Dry

  Tooheys Extra Dry (5.0%)


Nice, light, dry and wheaty. Not common here though and I wouldn't go out of my way to get it. Not knocking it, its alright but New is better. Not offensive, but not overly arousing. Doesn't rock my world.
