Cask at Brew Wharf. Red brown colour, very small gold bubbly head. Aroma is fairly regular pale ale smell. Bit of citrus, maybe something a bit dark there but only a hint. Taste is a touch chocolatey, roasty malt, bit of creaminess and a touch of hops. Later sips are more grainy. Very soft in the mouth. Taste is more interesting than the smell definitely. Further down the hops dominate. --- Beer merged from original tick of (collab with) Marina Black Cat RyePA on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:06 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.

Botella de 66 cl en el Lupulo. Septiembre de 213 color negro con espuma algo oscura y persistente. Cuerpo medio sabores a cereales notándose bastante el centeno, dándole a la cerveza un toque espeso y aspero. toques de maltas tostadas y final amargo contenido. Demasiado maltosa y cereales para mi gusto pero interesante para descubrir nuevos cereales en una cerveza.

At the Brewpub. Clear but very dark brown beer. Tidy pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry with moderate carbonation. The dark malt starts with a light touch but develop a roasty bitterness punch. Tangy orange fruit in the mid. Sweet and bitter pine in the finish with traces of reb berry fruits and rye spice and pinch of ash. Bitter linger. Interesting beer.
