Himlenbryg – Baltic Porter (6.0% ABV) #BalticPorter

A beer style we don’t see too often, this one is produced specially for Beer52. Originating from Sweden, it is fair to say that it has the geographic pedigree if nothing else, but I have high hopes for it. Baltic porters should be cold-lagered, cool-fermented and brewed with lager yeast, this means it should beContinue reading “Himlenbryg – Baltic Porter (6.0% ABV) #BalticPorter”

Roosters Brewing Co – Sleep is for the Week Breakfast Stout (5.8% ABV) #BreakfastStout

Welcome back beer lovers. I love stout but the idea of drinking it at breakfast, even as an ‘airport pint’, is a little too much too early for me. But say brunch now we are talking! Roosters don’t brew many dark beers, but I have high hopes for this one. Quite subtle with the flavoursContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co – Sleep is for the Week Breakfast Stout (5.8% ABV) #BreakfastStout”

Roosters Brewing Co –High Tea Jasmine Green Tea IPA (6.2% ABV) #HighTea

Hello there fellow beer lovers, its time for tea! I’ve tried pale ales with Earl Grey added which were surprisingly nice, so I’m always game to try a different variation. This one is made with tea from Taylors of Harrogate (the makers of Yorkshire Tea) but in this case their green tea. Also added duringContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co –High Tea Jasmine Green Tea IPA (6.2% ABV) #HighTea”

Roosters Brewing Co – Red Rock Session Rye IPA (4.6% ABV) #RedRock

Hello and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists. Have not seen many UK rye beers in recent times so this one really caught the eye on a trawl of the web shop. If you love your beer bitter, then this is one for you because it certainly delivers there. There is also a nice spicyContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co – Red Rock Session Rye IPA (4.6% ABV) #RedRock”

Roosters Brewing Co – London Thunder Classic Porter (4.2% ABV) #LondonThunder

Hi there fellow beer lovers, Billed as a ‘classic porter’, this is an original London style porter, harking back to its roots, without any flavour additives. So much is to be expected from the flavour profile of the malts used. A fine standard porter, that ticks all the necessary boxes. The malt gives someContinue reading “Roosters Brewing Co – London Thunder Classic Porter (4.2% ABV) #LondonThunder”
