Shikkoku is a Japanese word that reflects the jet black colour of onyx, perfect for this enchantingly dark, slow-aged brew marked by an elegant and mellow flavour profile. Dark shadows contrast sharply with the brightness of its fine, tea-coloured head. Aromatic hops surround the nose. COEDO Shikkoku is created with two variations of black malt which are combined with six other malt varieties, making for a black lager that is smooth, light and balanced - never cloying.

Quadrupel is the heaviest La Trappe beer with a magnificent amber color. Matured in oak barrels, it has a warm, intense flavor that is full and well balanced. Malty sweet, slightly toasted and pleasantly bitter with a sweet aftertaste. Identifiable aromas include banana, almond and vanilla.

While the partridge in a pear tree on the label suggests Christmas, this Hook Norton brew is available all year round and is a wonderfully rich and dark strong ale that will warm any cold soul. With a dark malt palate with nutty overtones, Twelve Days finishes with a hint of sweetness that compliments the bolt rich flavours perfectly.

Sold in 50 countries worldwide, the unique recipe of KRONENBOURG 1664 is distinguished by the use of the aromatic Strisselspalt hop - the 'caviar of hops', delivering a long, slow, satisfying taste. Hailing from historic Alsace province, this premium continental Lager, is more bitter than sweet, with a distinctive citrus flavour reminiscent of grapefruit.

Hook Norton is one of the few remaining family owned English Pubs and Breweries in existence in the UK. They produce ales of true distinction and flavour just like this fruity and full-bodied ale, Old Hooky. Wonderfully balanced and rich in texture, Old Hooky has plenty of aromatic fruit-driven notes and a palate covering smooth finish.
