Stout
(4.9%)
A mouth-watering English stout, very well balanced and smooth. A combination of specialist malt gives it the biscuit, chocolaty, burnt notes at the start, then as the mouthful goes down you get the English hops breaking through giving you a burst of flowery tones.
My notes: Full, rich & 'chocolatey" = nice

Nitro Stout
(4.2%)
Black stout with flavours of roasted malt, chocolate, and a bit of charcoal smoke.
My notes: Chocolate & smoke - smokiness reminds me of "Mycroft" tea in Peacock's in Ely

Hix's Darkside
(7.0%)
Originally brewed for export to Discworld, this rich, dark oatmeal stout has since been aged for 2 years. Chocolate, treacle and dark fruit feature in both the aroma and flavour. Hop bitterness comes through more in the finish.
My notes: Very rich aroma & taste - hints of plums or damsons

Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster
(4.6%)
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy says the effect of drinking a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick. This beer is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike that. Your brains will not be smashed out, but it is a golden beer and it has got lemon in.
My notes: Dangerously drinkable! Light bitterness with a lot of lemon in the finish.
