To craft LIA FAIL our brewers selected flavour packed dark crystal and chocolate malts. This combination creates a warming malty body bursting with nutty, chocolate notes that we have balanced with spicy aromas from Cascade and Fuggles hops. It finishes full, mellow and satisfying.

500ml bottle. Pours dark brown with a thick, lingering, frothy head. Malty sweet aroma, matched by the taste although the aftertaste is quite bitter. Good

On keg at Teuchters. Appearance - toffee coloured with quite a fla5 head Nose - toffee and some nuts. Taste - more of the same. Palate - medium bodied with a rich texture and a relatively balanced finish. A little sweet but xan live with that. Overall - better than I’d remembered. Really not bad at all. Premium bitter with a hint of Scotch Ale going on.

Brun med rødskjær, og hat ett offvite skum. Lukter malt og karamell, og smaker det samme men ikke så søt som lukten er. Medium kullsyre og bitterhet.
