Arbor Ales - Down Deeper, Black Barley Wine 12%


Taste: Sweet booze warmth rises from this. It's force is unstoppable. It's like a mix if port and sherry with some porter spilled on the top. Lovely.

Appearance: totally rad deep sea artwork. Totally black beer.

Would you buy 2? I would.

Would you buy 4? Yes. I'd spread out the drinking though, on account of liver failure.

Rating (out of 7): 6****** exciting brewing.

Burton Bridge Brewery - Thomas Sykes Ale 10%


Taste: The strongest beer at the festival.... It's go time!.... Sherry and mustard smell apparitions. This is worrying stuff. Especially at 5pm. Woah, fermenting earth worms... Argh! Alcoholic plough juice. Just a feeling of being in the earth. Ethanol and earth. Fermented Labrador. It's all a bit wicker man... Farmyard soil and opal fruits.

Appearance: Iron Bru. Red Panda.

Would you buy 2? We have.

Would you buy 4? If you're facing tough times in your life, you might need to.

Rating (out of 7): 6****** perfect ale for stomping blues!! Incredible!
