I was searching for a funky beer for a giveaway I’m running on my Instagram (check it out here if you like! https://www.instagram.com/lorenzobeerreviews/). I settled on this ‘Bueno Shake’ from Brighton based Unbarred Brewery, a 6.4% Milk Stout. The idea of a Kinder Bueno flavoured stout just seems like a match made in heaven so hopefully the high expectations I’ve built up for it are … Continue reading Beer Review: Bueno Shake – Unbarred Brewery
It’s Stout Sunday today, hope everyone has had a good weekend so far! Although we’ve technically got a porter and not a stout. Been a little bit since I’ve had a beer from one of my personal favourite breweries, Northern Monk. I think this has been out for a while now but I picked up ‘Stars & Stripes’ from Tesco when I went to grab … Continue reading Beer Review: Stars & Stripes – Northern Monk
I’ve actually written a review on a Sunday! It’s Stout Sunday so naturally I’ve gone for one of the new stouts in the latest Tesco range. It’s been quite a while since I last had a London Beer Factory brew and this one is a big beer. At a whopping 9.2% ABV ‘Zia’ is a Tiramisu Pastry Stout. I’ve not had a pastry stout before … Continue reading Beer Review: Zia – London Beer Factory
Another BrewDog beer for an even more belated stout Sunday today, another from Morrisons new craft beer range and another nitro twist on a previously released beer. This is ‘Choco Libre’ an 8.2% Mexican Hot Chocolate Stout. The name is likely a pun on Mexican wrestling Lucha Libre but I like to think it’s also a nod to one of my family’s favourite movies the … Continue reading Beer Review: Choco Libre (Nitro Edition) – BrewDog
Another beer from Morrisons new craft beer range and one I was desperately looking forward to trying. This is ‘Norse Star’ from the typically fantastic Northern Monk who have collaborated with Norwegian brewery Lervig (who are apparently stout brewing masters) to create this beer. This brew is a Vanilla, Cacao Imperial Stout coming in at a staggering 9% ABV. As with all Northern Monk beers … Continue reading Beer Review: Norse Star – Northern Monk x Lervig
Another beer I’ve had kicking about for a while now from Tesco. This is Buxton Brewery and their Imperial Stout ‘Storm Shadow’. This has been in Tesco stores for a while now at £3.50 a can but with a new batch of craft beer arriving it’s on the way out. Thankfully, if you end up liking the sound of this you can pick it up … Continue reading Beer Review: Storm Shadow – Buxton Brewery
We are taking part in Stout Sunday today with another from the Lidl Scottish Beer Fest range! This is from Barney’s Beer in Edinburgh and is their Marshmallow Milk Stout. At the 2018 Scottish Beer Awards this stout won the Bronze Award, so I’d argue expectations are certainly slightly higher. Coming in it a strong 7.4% ABV let’s get into this review! The beer pours … Continue reading Beer Review: Marshmallow Milk Stout – Barney’s Beer
