FULLER'S - London Pride England Nice and mild. Not as strong as ESB and doesn't go flat when left in the bottle.
HAANDBRYGGERIET - Winter Ale Norway What a surprise - the only words I can think of to describe it is 'a champagne stout' since it's bottle-conditioned. Very strong (9%) and strong-tasting, but extremely pleasant, although it could become an expensive habit since it's about five or six time the cost of a decent bottle of wine ($12 for a 1-pint bottle).
INNIS & GUNN - Original Scotland Not what I was expecting. The 'hints of toffee & vanilla' are a bit more than just hints and can take you by surprise. I can't say I don't like it, but it's a bit sweet and probably better suited as a 'dessert' beverage than as an accompaniment to a meal.
PETRUS - Blond Ale Belgium Fizzy and sharp. More like lemonade sodapop.
PETRUS - Dubbel Bruin Belgium A very nice smooth brown ale, although a little sweet for my own taste.
PETRUS - Gouden Tripel Belgium Like all the other Petrus beers I've tried, it's very fizzy. A nice blond pale ale though, very smooth and a stronger taste than I expected.
PETRUS - Oud Bruin Belgium If this is supposed to be a brown ale it's a bit of a failure. Not very smooth and tasted like it's been watered down a bit.
PETRUS - Speciale Ale Belgium Fizzy, like most Petrus ales, but not a bad pale ale.
SAMUEL SMITH'S - Nut Brown Ale England The standard by which all nut brown ales should be judged.
St Peter's - India Pale Ale England IPAs have become very popular (at least where I live in New York) but most of the American brews are typically a bit over-hopped. This one sets the standard by which IPAs should be judged.
THEAKSTON - Old Peculiar England My favorite with Fish'n'Chips.
WELLS - Bombadier Premium Ale England This one was a surprise - well hopped without being overdone. Full body and nice strong taste. An excellent winter (bitter?) ale. Certainly lives up to the description on the label.
