When the beer poured out?
Light faint fruity sweetness on the nose.

How’s the taste?
The first gulp light bitter entry, fruity bitter like pomelo. Then it linger this nice aroma of fruity sweetness. The body is smooth yet crispy when drink it. The beer don’t have much finishing until you drink half of it that you notice more pomelo like fruity sweetness developing at the back of the mouth.

What’s the colour of the beer?
Pale dark orange brown.

Where to drink?
Will come in this year to Malaysia.

My Opinion:
The nose is flat, but the taste make out for it. Is not the usual american hoppy IPA which give lots of bitter taste to it. The bitter linger for a while then the fruity sweetness took over. Simple easy drinking IPA that can easily pair with food with little spice. I may want to pair this with thai spice food. The fruitiness does quite well after drinking a few more gulp. Cheers!

Few days back I did a tasting on stout and porter. Although both of this are kind of similar but each brewery produce different kind of character. Some are heavier in roasted taste, some chocolate, some bitter and many more different character.

We have 4 different stouts and porters, beside Guinness the rest I doubt you can’t get it easily in pubs. We had Guinness Draught, Fuller’s London Porter, Yoho Brewing Tokyo Black and Magic Hat Heart Of Darkness.

Guinness Draught
Beside creamy, I really have nothing much to say about this beer. I know Guinness Draught lover will hate me for writing this, as I know many Malaysian will die for their Guinness as the brand is very strong in branding. Light malty taste with light flavour. Have some roasted taste but nothing delight on the palate. Is Guinness Draught a stout or different category?

Fuller’s London Porter
This one have a roasted smell, can taste the roasted smell with hint of chocolate. The body is light and not much character there. Have a light roasted bitter at the end. Would pair nicely with light dessert.

Yoho Breweing Tokyo Black
The body of this beer is light and clean but have lot’s of character of dark malt with nice light roasted malt aroma. The entry and finishing is quite delightful. Pair nicely with dessert.

Magic Hat Heart Of Darkness
This beer is pungent among the 4 we tasted, even have some hoppy bitter at the end. Have a strong entry but don’t stick too long at the end. Just roasted bitter with slight sourness to it. Prefer to pair this beer with savoury then dessert. It brings out a lot of flavour from the pepper biscuit we paired with.

Sometimes the most tasteless one are the one consumer preferred. But of course when come to proper tasting and drinking the character of the beer is more important. Each of these beers have it’s strong note. Is still pretty much up to individual. I would go for Magic Hat Heart Of Darkness for the nice pungent flavour but prefer the end of Tokyo Black which is pleasant and the roasted of Fuller’s London Pride with the body of Guinness.

On this tasting, I wonder if we can mix them all up… haha, Cheers!
