Ian Simpson is drinking a Black by Neptune Brewery at Stormbird
Really good flavour - lots of roast malt, plenty of hops and a hint of fruit. Slightly 'flat' though, the head collapsed almost instantly and there was no lacing. Possibly the glass was a bit greasy?

Ian Simpson is drinking a White Choc Strawb by Yonder Brewing at CASK Pub & Kitchen
Very hazy and perhaps not as pink as you'd expect! The aroma is slight, ice-creamy is perhaps the best description. The flavour is anything but slight - an explosion of sharp strawberries followed by a vanilla sweetness. Very good indeed!

Phwoar! Talk about rounding off the evening on a high note. Boozy of course, but there is a yeasty funk which really works. Lots of fruit too. First rate, best beer of 2025 so far.
