|
| Fraises | Chapeau De Troch | 3.50 | Fresh strawberries. Similar to a triffle, or jelly. Because it's got the creaminess of a triffle. And the fresh is because it tastes like real fresh straws have been used, and not concentrate. | 8.0 |

| Malheur Dark Brut | Malheur | 12.00 | Very strong, burnt caramel, disparates flavours with good complexities | 8.0 |
|
| Burton Bitter | Marston | 3.80 | Golden red in colour, but a light beer, with slight hoppy tang, and biscuit taste as it washes past. | 7.5 |

|
| Taras Boulba | Brasserie De La Senne | 4.50 | Slightly cloudy, not as bitter on initial taste as thought as it's balanced with quite a high hop content. But this beds down on tongue, and holds in a/t, to reveal solid bitterness. | 7.5 |

|
| Forestinne | Caracole Brewery | 7.50 | The Elven bikini cartoon on the label introduces the svelte citrus taste of this nice but mostly uneventful beer. This taste comes from the pine needles used in the brewing process which is nice, but little different to the sensations produced by the glut | 7.0 |
|
| Bink | Kerkom | 5.50 | Musky blonde with large head. Tang of bitterness, with initial wetness. Needs neutral pallet. | 7.0 |

|
| Bob | Wickwar | 4.00 | Light and malt tastes, dry bitterness. | 7.0 |
|
| Ginger Explosion | TSA | 5.00 | Strong rush with syrup texture at start, but only with subtle ginger. Quick to satiate. Coating on palette is only available mouthfeel, nothing in taste. Not a ginger beer, and not enough ginger to be a beer with ginger. Better gulped. | 7.0 |

|
| Boerken | De Proefbrouwerij | 9.50 | Dark ruby red with fullsome head. Good aroma, nice solid bitterness & extra layer of port as it hits the throat. Flavour dissipates with food. | 7.0 |

|
| Oude de Geuze | Chapeau De Troch | 6.00 | Very sour, straight apple fruit hit. Slightly cloudy with a golden haze. | 7.0 |
|
| Super Bock - Stout | Unicer | 5.00 | Same visual look as cola. Soft coffee cream texture. co2 on side of mouth, smooth feel once this goes. Not stout in the traditional word. | 7.0 |
|
| Clouded Yellow | St Austell | 4.80 | Delicate bottle conditioned with citrus, spices, and vanilla. Slight maple tastes, but destroyed slightly by over carbonation. Interestingly brewed with 50% wheat and 50% barley. | 7.0 |
