“…brewed using a blend of Maris Otter pale malt and torrefied wheat, with four
varieties of hop (Fuggle, Progress, Styrian Gold and Mount Hood)…”
Very sweet (it contains No3 Inverted Block Sugar and High-Maltose Syrup), very
strong, tastes very slightly of flowers (violet?), otherwise boring. Contains
malted barley and torrefied wheat.
Highgate Brewery, Walsall, England. 8.2% alcohol.

“Local folklore tells of a fox that lived in and around the old Hightgate
and Walsall Brewery. Althought frequent sightings of the fox were recorded no
one ever caught more than a glimpse of the animal's head as he darted amongst
the barrels. The old English word for head is Nob and this beer is named after
that elusive fox.”
Quite bitter with a distinct nutty flavour, especially of bitter almond.
Contains malted barley.
Highgate Brewery, Walsall, England. 4.0% alcohol.

“This rich, dark beer is brewed using a blend of pale, crystal and black
malts complemented with the purest honey. English grown Fuggle and Progress
hops provide the bitterness. […] complex palate of malt, chocolate, citrus
fruits and hops…”
Quite sweet, very slightly bitter. I didn't notice any chocolate or citrus
fruits, but rather something fruity-ish, maybe cherry-ish, but definitively
just “-ish”. Contains malted barley.
Highgate Brewery, Walsall, England. 6.5% alcohol.

If I'm to trust the category counter, you have tasted more than 100 beers. Now I'm wondering how much life time would be necessary to taste all the others at the same rhythm... BTW, while the title of new entries appear fine in my rss reader, the content of the blog post does not. A side-effect of the latest configuration change ?
