Amber Stone (Marstons)

Name: Amber Stone
Label: "Extraordinary Character - Rich and malty nose with a hint of apple fruit"
Brewery: Harper's Brewing Co. - Brewed by Marston's Brewery [wtf?]
ABV: 4.4%

Tasting notes: "Notice the smooth caramel flavours from crystal malts with a lightly dry and nutty texture to finish. Fresh, soft earthy and hedgerow aroma from old world hops. All that sweetness is balanced out by a rounded but robust bitterness"

Game: This week we've mostly been scared w(sh)itless on Resident Evil 7 Biohazard. It's great. It's given us some great ideas for the office refurbishment plan too. Basically we're going to have random lumps of statue that when you hold them up at a certain angle, the shadow they cast onto the wall will complete a picture that will then cause a secret door to open in the wall enabling us to get to another area of the office where a much needed item is kept, probably the stapler or the hole puncher thingy.

Rating: 7 office refurbs out of 10.

Paquita Brown (Tyris)

Name: Paquita Brown
Label: "Tyris Craft & Creative Beers"
Brewery: Tyris
ABV: 5.2%

Tasting notes: "Paquita Brown vive al limite: solo bebe cerveza sin filtrar, directa del fermentador. Paqui pasa lupulo de contrabando de las mejores cosechas. Esta botella contiene su cerveza favorita, una Brown ale dulce, cremosa e intensa monovarietal de lupulo simcoe, sin tonterias. Paquita disfruta de cada cerveza como si fuera la ultima."
