Keg at Heaton Hops, Chapel Heaton, nr Stockport, Greater Manchester in the company of Lynn and Barry, Saturday 18th February 2017 Pours almost black with a very slim filmy head. Really nice, good steady coffee throughout, surprisingly easy drinking for such a big beer, it’s strange that the chilli is a slow burner, only really kicking in after a while but it provides a good warmth. Lovely. A7 A4 T8 T7 P4 Ov15 3.8
