| Double Brown Ale | Svaneke Bryghuset | 5.70 | Raisin aroma with sour dough mouthfeel. Deep brown, foamy head, gives way to quaffable, session brown ale, more taste in aftertaste that during drinking. | 8.0 |
|
| Rød Quinua | Søgaards Bryghus | 4.50 | Golden red beer with fruit blossom. Morrello (sour) cherry. Not sure if this is trying to be a ruby beer and misses or a fruit beer and makes it. | 8.0 |
|
| Stout Kong Arthur | Rise Bryggeri | 6.00 | Dense black beer, with roast grain and bitter chocolate on the nose. Rich roasted grain and smooth warming taste, between a stout and a mild. Would hold its own in the UK stout market | 8.0 |

|
| Coffee Porter | Meantime | 6.00 | Aroma of unroasted beans, taste of cold coffee. Drinkable in an odd way. Enjoyment is 100% linked to coffee (unlike coffee-like milds). Similar to Temptation (Durham) | 8.0 |

|
| Taiphoon | Hopback Brewery | 4.20 | Light ale with corresponding light golden colour. Soft foam head, and delicate taste.

|
| 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 |
