As instructed by AleandHearty I did try the Magic Rock Curious and agree that it's an excellent well hopped pale cooking beer, very similar to a few of the Brodie's regulars. The Great Alphonso was the biggest disappointment as I couldn't detect any Mango flavour at all, and I have brewed my own Mango wine in the past.
Despite the appearance of three of my previous BOTW winners, this week has a very clear winner, due mainly to the high price of the keykeg Magic Rock offerings which gave me the chance to apply the three pint test to Magic Rock Dark Arts. This is a very well hopped black beer, possibly best described as a strong stout. It was in cracking form at the Magic Rock takeover. I have tried it before but don't recall it being as impressive as this.
