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.

500 ml bottle brought over by my friends from Aberdeen. Nose is malty caramel, white vanilla chocolate, and light grassy and spicy notes. Clear orange copper with a bigger, lightly lacing, beige head. Flavor is lightly bitter with a little citrus, and lots of malt (caramel and chocolate). pretty nice on a hot day!

Bottle. Clear amber body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of wood, marmalade, brown sugar and iced tea. Flavour of caramel, biscuit and orange rind. Thin body with a watery mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Quite sweet but with enough hop bitterness to balance it out. A decent bitter.

Bottle, 4.7%. Slightly farty aroma. Clear chestnut colour. Small frothy white head. The flavour starts off malty, turning roasted with a sort of spicy malt note. Later comes a mild grassy hoppiness followed by a medium bitterness which is quite clean.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with quickly vanishing off-white head. Clear aroma of hop, malt and dried fruit. Bitter, hoppy aroma with a fruity note. Dry finish. OK, but more like an English IPA than an ESB.
