Some more ales from the wonderful people at Ales By Mail arrived last week, a right mixed bag of stuff, here is the selection:
By The Horns Gift Of The Gab - 5.9% Irish coffee milk stout. Smooth roast coffee with a touch of rich oat & peat. A milk stout brewed with Lactose, then aged on Oak and conditioned with freshly ground coffee
Celt Experience Silures - 4.6% infused session IPA. Powerfully hopped and adjusted with sweet Munich malt, Spruce tips and a depth of tropical fruit aroma dry hops
Freedom Pilsner - 5% pilsner lager. Light straw colour, very light hop aroma and a bitter, light taste with a dry aftertaste
Ilkley Joshua Jane -3.7% Yorkshire bitter. Rich nut-brown Yorkshire ale. Light caramel sweetness, modest salt and a keen lasting bitterness
Lluna De Blat - 4.8% ale. Aroma is fruity with floral notes, body is friendly and slightly acidic flavor
and refreshing (taken from their website)
Pitfield Sea Shepherd Ocean Warrior - 4.5% straw coloured beer, with a light malt flavour, and a refreshing citrus finish
Tryis Vipa - 6.1% beer, the entire label was in Spanish, sorry!
Wild Beer Modus Operandi -7% beer. Old ale + Oak-aged for 90 days + wild yeast 2014
Jim from the Brentwood Brewing Company got in touch with me a while ago to say that some of their beers were coming my way for review. They were being sent out by AlesByMail and the kind folk there decided that a half-empty box wasn't worth sending and so filled it up with samples of some of AlesByMail's new stock.
