No 133 - De Dolle Oerbier Nat & Straf (Belgium)

A deep, tight, powerful nose with notes of sweet/sour lemons, milk chocolate, wet undergrowth and a lovely creamy note. Deep and yummy.
The taste is big and strappy with a high acidic taste well matched with good yellow fruit. Maybe a touch to acidic in the end of the finish. But lots of quality here. And the 9% doesn´t show itself at all. Very, very good.

No 132 - Shepherd Neame Bishops Finger (England)

This old classic has a good, creamy nose with notes of sweet, medium dark malt, fudge, sugared coffee and a touch of warm spicies. Good but not that deep.
The tasts is cool, relatively light with some smoky notes and dark fudge. Decent length and a nice bitterness. Good.
