21st June 2021: Monthly Beer Share, Chez Sophie in Shrewsbury. Only four of us this time around. Cheers Simon for the 330ml bottle of this 'strange brew'. Lovely lady on the front label! Anyway it poured a mean black colour with an off-white/cream head. Dark fruits and some heat in the taste, aroma more herbal and piney than fruity. Split the room taste and likeability wise.

330ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, June 21. Thanks Simon for this. Pours black, hazed with a light beige head. Spiced nose, some pine and dark malt. Seems to present an interesting piney gingery hop bite to start, with a dusty Irish dry Stout roastiness on the finish. As it breathes more of the hop pine seems to emerge, finishing more in line with a strong black IPA feel, though remaining intensely complex and smokey with rich liquorice nestled beneath. Blurring styles and then some.
