Van Dieman Oatmeal Stout
As you already know, dark beers aren’t high on my list, this
one in particular boasts an espresso feel to it, I don’t like coffee and I
struggled with this one.
Brewcult Reset Robot Pale Ale
A mid strength beer at best, this was a nice palate changer
after the dark beer. Brewcult have a funny cartoony kind of character on their
logos, their beer is usually of a new age variety and they are doing a good job
with their products.

Bridge Road Chestnut Porter
At first I was very curious about this one, I don’t have
much experience with nut flavoured beer. But if I had to rate this as a hit or
a miss I would call it a miss, it was a strange beer and I struggled to get
through it.
Naparbier The Crimson Bird Saison with Raspberries
After the chestnut porter I was hoping for something
different to change the taste in my mouth, then I unwrap this, from Spain, this
is a very peculiar beer indeed, of course it has a very fruity smell, the taste
is somewhat sour and fruity. It didn’t go down fast as I wanted to keep
sampling the taste, it was unlike anything I’ve ever had before. Might have to
try another one before I pass a final verdict.

Murray’s Angry Man Pale Ale
I’ve had this before and I really like it, it’s a cheeky
Australian beer with a person boxing with a kangaroo on the label. Using malts
and hops from several countries this is a beer I would go back and drink over
and over again.
Last Rites Horn of Diligence Pale Ale
Hopefully you remember another product from Last Rites a few
posts ago, a Tasmanian brewery, they are known for their unique beers. This
caught me by surprise as it was nothing like I expected, this is a very
different tasting pale ale, it went down like most other beers.

Bridge Road Beechworth Pale Ale
I was expecting it and was glad to peel open another door to
find this one. The Beechworth Pale Ale was my introduction to this amazing
craft beer company in Victoria. It has been a while since I had one so it was
great to get a taste for it again. It is made from four hop varieties from
three continents.
Dainton Extra Session Ale
Dainton is another favourite craft beer brewer of mine and
anything to do with an extra session usually gets my attention. From their can
it explains that this is their bastard love-child, kicking and screaming into
the world with a whole lot of heart. The first Dainton canned beer I’ve ever
had, it gets my approval.

Moon Dog Old Mate Pale Ale
Moon Dog have redeemed themselves after an overly dark beer
earlier on. This unique pale ale with a peach/ citrus hop taste is the exact
opposite and is a very nice beer to drink.
Venom Golden Ale
I’ve had this in random packs before, it is an average
tasting Victorian craft beer using New Zealand hops.

Christmas is almost here, keep on drinking.
