This was the box that came with different beers that had been sent before, with some new ones and a nice Unibroue glass.

Temple Special Bitter- Quite good. Nice easy drinking beer.
Pack 4. Winter 2009.
St. Bernardus Prior 8- Cellared for a special occasion.
Schlenkerla Rauchbier Marzen- I found this a very strong smokey taste and smell. Almost overpowering. The taste was good but the smell was strong.
Fraoch Heather Ale- Loved it. Understated aroma and taste. Poured with no head and easy and refreshing to drink. Could really drink a lot of this. No.1
Duchesse De Bourgogne- Wow. Lots and lots of different tastes in 1 Bottle. Amazing.
Hard to pass judgement on this as it was so different to anything else. It could be No.1. I have no idea.
Temple Special Bitter- See above.
Mountain Goat Surefoot Stout- Very very good. Don’t normally think much of Stout but really liked this. Better than all other Stouts I have had. No.3
Paulaner Salvator- Very good dopplebock. Probably the best dopple going around at the moment. No.2
