Drookit Scotch Ale: 7.5 – It’s as complex as any Belgian Quad even giving that bit of banana and meaty taste. It’s overall though just a great tasting beer.
Price Average: $5

Gold Strike Ale: 6.5 – This is a really good ale. I quite like it. Once again (as evidenced by the Berkshire tag) they manage to deliver a very good tasting ale (with some fruit/meat flavors in this) that comes at a value price.

Alright continuing our last week of gin coverage with Uncle Val’s we have another offering that looks good in the bar, but is bad in the glass. Boodles looks spot-on for what you’d expect from a British gin, but it also tastes like the British gins you’ve heard the horror stories about.
Liberte Table Beer: 8.0 – Named for the place i got it and as far as what you want from a table beer this is near perfect. The best beer in the world this is not, but then it doesn’t need to be.

Dark Island: 7.0 – The word here is rich. The aging here is done perfectly but this beer has a gravitas and opulence to it. This is a once in a month kind of beer, but it’s still a good one.

Conceived in the golden coasts of California, made in the clear waters of Oregon, a recipe going back to the walls of Lucca Italy itself we have Uncle Val’s gin. A gin that is quite simply – a mid-tier wannabe high-tier gin. (oshi-)
Southwark Centennial: 3.5– It’s sweet, and served a bit too warm. Its a vary cloudy beer when poured but overall its just not good. Just a poor quality American Pale Ale that is sadly perpetuating the myth that imports and bad british attempts that have led to multiple people deriding APA’s to me while abroad.

Brew Dog Hop Rocker: 7.0 – Brew Dog being famous for IPA’s has paid off here in this lager by making it deliciously nice and hoppy. This is the perfect kind of beer to earn the “Rocker” name for being what you’d have on a good summer day on a porch.
Price Average: $8
