White Rabbit Dark Ale

Rating: 5.5/10

Banana scent. Not as dark as I expected. It makes a nice light winter afternoon drink. Surprisingly the bottle tastes close to the tap. I still prefer darker styles.

Wild Dog Barrel-aged Gonzo Imperial Porter

Rating: 6/10
Coffee smell, black in colour. Smooth and warm. It has a hint of caramel and I can taste roasted nuts. Appearance of taste of raisin toast towards the end. Overall, tastes are a bit in and out and slightly unordered. Personally, the quantity seems large for a strong and present tastes.

Hitachino Nest Red Rice

Applee. Warm spring.

Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout

Rating: 7/10

Almost black and a hint of wine-like red in colour. Smells like soy sauce and bitter caramel. Overall, it's sour. In taste, the journey starts with creamy to bitter and sour. This bitterness dissappears slowly leaving the first creamy and mildly sweet aftertaste. This lingers around on the nose for a long time after you finish swallowing. It seems to keep developing. It finishes with a warm and huggy taste. Definitely a great winter drink.

Ah, blame the weather. What a moody beer drinker I am.
