• Collapsing Earth is a 6% ABV export India porter from Left Handed Giant. A modern approach to an historic style, it blends four speciality malts, giving layers of nuttiness and brown sugar to compliment the smooth texture. Generous hopping, using classic US varieties Simcoe, Idaho 7, and Centennial, brings out notes of fragrant spice among a bright citrus aroma.

• New Bristol’s sixth and final Christmas stout is a honeycomb espresso Martini stout, created with Southsea Brewing. “Blow-torched honeycomb and cool-pressed coffee combine to make the perfect cocktail in a stout,” say the brewers.

• Brew York has revealed a bold new iteration in its Tonkoko series, Mocha Tonkoko, coming in at 4.3% ABV. This time, the familiar Tonkoko profile has been blended with smooth chocolate and a gentle coffee warmth.

• It’s Heaven or… Heaven, from Northern Monk. One is an 11.5% ABV barrel-aged imperial stout, aged for three years, and with a depth of Bourbon and maple flavour. The other is a 0.3% ABV imperial stout, with “all of the indulgence but none of the booze”, says the brewer.

• Blur (6.5% ABV) is a new IPA from Beak. The tropical, complex brew features Riwaka, Ella, and Nelson Sauvin hops, bringing bright notes of passionfruit, kumquat, juicy lychee, and grapefruit pith.

• Brew Toon has collaborated with The Hop Shop on Sour Sleigher, an 8% ABV triple-fruited festive sour. Bursting with juicy strawberries, tart honeyberries, and bold blackcurrants, it has a rich, fruity depth.
