Number 4 - USA

Flavour - Rich. Almost too thick. NOT a beer you could drink a lot of in one sitting. Initially awesome stout-like flavour, but extremely filling. Grippy! Score 7



Head - What do Brooklyn Insulated and Vince Vaughan have in common? They both have massive heads. Impressive. 4.25

Beer/Sausage/Combo/Factor - Made us want more sausage! A match made in heaven, This beer would look fabulous in the background of an advert for quality sausages 4.25
