The Beer & Wine Review Thread

[Bren]

Time for our own KB Beer and Wine Reviews for those that like a tipple of the finer ales and wines.

First Review

Tuatara London Porter

This beer is a dark porter style (similar to stout). On first taste it caresses the tounge with a sweet velvety flavour and just a hint of chocolate. Once it hits the back of the throat you find yourself teased with it's more robust malty taste. It leaves you wanting more until the last drop is downed.
At about $6.00 a bottle it is not a cheap drop, but I will be keen to try it again...and again...

My rating is out of five...

This is soooo not a thread for me...

I drink beer with beer in it, and cheap plonk from the supermarket, unless I have brewed even cheaper plonk/beer of my own.

I'll leave you to it.

I don't generally drink alcohol unless it's my own homebrew. You never know what's in booze these days unless you make it yourself.

We are lucky having the Tuatara brewery in our area, it doesn't seem to be available widely.

I have quaffed my way through a bottle or two of TUATARA ARDENNES

Promoted as a "Belgian Style Ale", its a golden colour, and very clear. Smells a little like orange peel, and if served cool rather than cold appears heavily carbonated (making it very summery with that slight citrus smell.) 6.5% alcohol, so by the third one, I felt it had improved from merely "excellent" to "must have another at all costs".
I'll buy it again. Tonight on the way home would be good.

Tuatara makes a nice drop but so do:

• Captain Cooker
• Three Boys
• Emmersons
• Renaissance
• Epic
  The list goes on and on....

There are quite a few NZ boutique breweries that make excellent beer of all kinds.

I LOVE BEER!!!!

It costs me about $0.50 to get drunk.
