Bootleg Brewery One Offs Barrel Aged Amber Ale.Has a bit of a musty smell, it tastes dead-hops bitter, maybe oxidized, like it may be quite old. Apart from the bitterness I think I can taste coconut which may be a residual of the vanilla flavour meant to be in here.

Bootleg Brewery One Offs Black Market Black IPA. Ok this is better, nice strong hoppyness, not too overbearing, nice dark malt flavour, not too roasty or burnt as can be common with this style. Good carbonation. Its black, opaque.

Mash Brewing Freo Doctor Lager. Had this on tap a few weeks back, cant say there is much difference between it and this bottled one, maybe a little funk?. Very Aussie lager, has a good “real” malty taste, compared to the mass produced stuff. Not overbearing, very sessional, Nice hoppy bitterness too. This is good.

Innate Brewing – Donald Grump – It’s a brown ale and I think I can taste actual brown malt. Not much mouthfeel and a big head on pour that died down . Smell is light coffee but mainly malt, darker malts, very malty and not any noticeable hops or hops bitterness.

Mash Brewing – Copycat IPA – A Good American style IPA.

Brasserie Belle-Vue – Belle-Vue Kriek – Nice, a good cherry taste without the artifical flavour that comes with many cherry krieks and cherry beers in general.
