Personalised Luxury Hand Bound Leather Beer Tasting Journal

A refined and thoughtful keepsake designed especially for those who love to savour and celebrate their ales, our sumptuous Personalised Luxury Hand Bound Leather Beer Tasting Journal is the perfect birthday, Father’s Day or Christmas gift for any beer lover (or connoisseur as he would say!). Beautifully handbound in a soft, padded recycled leather cover, this exquisite beer tasting notebook combines timeless craftsmanship with sustainability. 

The cover is beautifully finished in a warm chestnut tan shade, giving it a vintage yet enduring appeal, and the title ‘Beer Tasting Notes’ is elegantly embossed in the centre in gold foil. To complete the design, your personalised initials will be hot foil stamped in the bottom right-hand corner, creating a distinctive and bespoke gift, also in gold.

The journal comes with 140 pages of premium 120gsm British-made paper, carefully selected to ensure a smooth writing experience with every record. The page design has been carefully crafted to guide the taster through each beer with structure and clarity, while leaving ample space for personal impressions and reflections.

At the top of each page, a dedicated section allows the recording of key details: the beer’s name, brewery, type or style, strength, date sampled, and price. An additional tick-box area notes whether the beer was enjoyed from draft, bottle, or can, while a Notes section provides generous space for immediate impressions or contextual details of the tasting experience.

On the opposite page, a Flavour Wheel is presented as a central tool to map the character of each beer. Divided into categories such as sweet, citrus, herbal, floral, spicy, bitter, sour, hoppy, malty, toasted, fruity, caramel, coffee, nutty, dairy, and creamy, it allows for a precise and visual representation of flavour intensity. This feature provides both novices and seasoned enthusiasts with a structured and intuitive means of profiling their tastings in a way that’s both informative, engaging and a little bit quirky.

Beneath the wheel, a vertical Colour Scale charts the spectrum from clear through straw, honey, gold, amber, caramel, and mahogany, enabling a quick visual grading of each beer’s appearance. Adjacent to this scale is a ratings section, where appearance, aroma, taste, and mouthfeel can each be scored out of five stars. Finally, a dedicated space is reserved for an Overall Rating, allowing you to summarise the entire tasting experience in one considered evaluation.

To enrich the record further, a ruled table encourages reflection on the social and personal context of each tasting. With columns for names, dates, and comments, this area transforms the journal into more than a flavour log; it becomes a diary of memorable occasions, companions, and stories associated with each beer.

Every page layout has been thoughtfully designed to balance formality and creativity, offering both structured guidance and ample room for individuality. This makes the journal equally suited to those who are new to beer appreciation and to connoisseurs who wish to deepen their exploration of complex flavour profiles.

Presented in a stunning gift box, this hand bound beer tasting journal is a unique and enduring gift for beer lovers everywhere. Its combination of exquisite recycled leather craftsmanship, practical and elegant interior design and bespoke personalisation ensures it will be treasured forever and used regularly. Perfect for marking special milestones or to elevate the enjoyment of a well-brewed pint, this delightful beer journal is as much a keepsake as it is a companion for beer tastings.
