They were good but I have a hankering for a real sweet stout now - just had a very average 5% cookie stout that did not hit the spot haha
Also report back, on the ginger one especially please!

No but my girlfriend had it last time it was around and said it was “well nice”.
Also if you see their Accept All Cookies milk stout pick that up, it is - again - well nice.
Is a lovely stout
Touch too sweet for me tbh, half of a third was all I could handle
Also just had the Br****g Radio Zombie Phone In - crazy drinkable for a 14% stout but also so so sweet
Original is better than I remember, really chocolaty
Barrel aged: not as good as original (still good though)
Seems to be a thing with siren BA stuff. Almost as if barrell ageing takes some of the original flavours away from the beer
Lol at posting that much text on a platform primarily designed for use on mobile phones
Maybe that’s how they’ve been communicating with Batemans
Passive aggressive much
Very much this - found the barrel aging added a really harsh, almost astringent bitterness that did nothing for the flavour of the beer. I generally find that adjunct stouts don’t really benefit from time in the barrel - the standard version of Omnipollo’s Noa is also far superior to any of the barrel aged versions.
Currently drinking a Vibrant Forest Pupa - very nice session strength hazy pale. Had never had one of their beers before and this is a very good introduction!
Did I have this this year?
It was one of the best, whatever year it was.
They do some incredible imp stouts. Generally a very good brewery. Bubbling under atm.
I’ve heard the name mentioned a bunch of times but it was the can that caught my eye - it’s a very cool design. Will check out one of the impy stouts next…
Umbral Abyss and Bourbon Oktober are great. Their hazy IPAs are decent. Kaleidoscope is very good and their single hop series is good too. They’ve had a rebrand, and it looks sharp.
Day 6
Enjoying this box so far.
Plus the competitions that go along with it are ridiculous. Yesterday you could brew something with Fourpure, today is this

Caribbean chocolate cake update
Death by: very nice, boozy but not too boozy
Ginger: good, the ginger is more prominent on the nose, it doesn’t overpower the beer like some ginger beers
