Willard Clarke world beer selection Buy the case, print-off this page, and compare your notes with Roger's! Brasseries du Maroc, Casablanca Lager Beer (Morocco) Exceptionally pale gold colour with an aroma of cornflour and hints of vanilla and lemon fruit. Juicy malt dominates the palate with a gentle hint of hop bitterness and citrus fruit. The finish is short but quenching with hop bitterness making more of an impact and an increasing lemon note. Wonderfully refreshing. 5.0% ABV. Casta, Morena Dark Ale (Mexico) A red-brown beer from Mexico with a stunning aroma of figs, dates, tobacco and chocolate - all derived from dark malts. Dark, biscuity grain and chocolate fill the mouth with a hint of spicy hops. The finish is bitter-sweet, with chocolate, dried fruit and malt dominating but a gentle hop bitterness adding balance. 6.0% ABV. Cooper's, Pale Ale (Australia) Bottle-fermented beer from Adelaide with a natural yeast sediment. Hazy gold colour, lively collar of foam and a rich 'wine gums' aroma with orange, apricot and lemon dominating. Spicy hops dance on the tongue, balancing the sappy malt and tangy fruit. The finish is long and lingering, with tart and quenching citrus fruits, peppery hops and biscuity malt. A brilliant beer from a great brewery. 4.5% ABV Big City Brewing, Jamaica Sout (Jamaica) Jet black beer with a dense, barley-coloured head. A deep and intense aroma of milk chocolate and charred malt is followed by a palate in which the sweet chocolate note is balanced by roasted malt and peppery hops. The finish develops a vinous fruitiness with a gentle underpinning of spicy hops and charred malt. Despite the colour and strength, it is wonderfully refreshing. 8.0% ABV La Choulette, Ambré (France) Russet-coloured French beer with a spicy and bitter orange aroma and a hint of chocolate. Bitter, peppery hops burst through on the tongue, balanced by rich grain and a Grand Marnier orange fruitiness. The finish is sweet to start, dominated by fruit, chocolate and grain, but peppery hops break through and provide a bitter finale. 8.0% ABV Koningshoeven, La Trappe Dubbel (Holland) Deep red Dutch beer with a smoky, woody aroma and a powerful waft of pear drops and light, spicy hops. Pear drops dominate the mouth but sweetness is balanced by a growing hop presence and rich, biscuity malt. The finish is finely balanced between sweet fruit and malt and a developing spicy hop note. Rich yet refreshing. 6.5% ABV Lion Brewery, Lion Dark (Sri Lanka) Deep brown/black in colour with a stunning and complex aroma of liquorice, molasses, coffee, chocolate and burnt grain. The espresso coffee note builds on the tongue, balanced by juicy malt and bitter hops. The finish is deep, with a superb balance of sweet, biscuity and roasted malt, tart, bitter and spicy hops, coffee and molasses. A world classic stout, first brewed to refresh tea planters in Ceylon, now Sri Lanka. 8.0% ABV Teres�polis Brewery, Lokal Beer (Brazil) Brazilian interpretation of a Pilsner with a rich malt and cornflour aroma and hints of citrus fruit and floral hops. Crisp and quenching in the mouth, with a pleasing balance of juicy malt and gentle hops. The finish has surprising length, with a malty/grainy base, lemon fruit and a light but persistent bitter hop note. A good refresher. 4.7% ABV Maisel, Maisel's Weiss (Germany) A classic German wheat beer from Bayreuth. It is a hazy pale brown in colour and contains natural yeast sediment. It has a superb aroma of spices � coriander to the fore - and ripe bananas. Banana builds in the mouth, balanced by spices and ripe malt. The finish is long and complex: yeasty, spicy, fruity and wonderfully refreshing. A memorable beer. 5.7% ABV, 50cl. Moosehead, Lager (Canada) A golden beer from one of Canada�s leading independents. A light aroma of sappy malt, corn and gentle floral hops is followed by a palate with a delectable 'lemon jelly' citrus note that balances the malt and light hop bitterness. The finish continues the lemon jelly character with a rich and biscuity malt note and a building gentle hop balance. 5.0% ABV Quilmes, Imported Beer (Argentina) A pale gold Argentinian beer with a pleasing grainy/cornflour aroma, a hint of citrus fruit and light, grassy hops. Lemon/citrus fruit builds in the mouth, with a good bitter hop note and juicy malt. The finish is dry and bitter, balanced by tart and tangy citrus fruit and a rich, sappy malt note. A good hop character makes this a rewarding and refreshing beer. 4.9% ABV Shanghai, Dragon Lager (China) Chinese interpretation of a European Pils-style beer. It is straw coloured with a tempting lemon fruit aroma, lightly toasted grain and a hint of floral hops. The palate is dominated by malt and cornflour and a gentle underpinning of hops.
