Can at home, from HOTM online, 16/01/25.
Famous last words after the gushing AF lager a few nights ago ... hoping I had nothing else in stock from these clowns! Well at least I knew what to expect this time and the stout gushed into my sink and was generally a Dave pour throughout with the badly pitched carbonation showing no mercy!
Light black with a fuck off khaki head, despite a careful pour, allowing me to tip some more in after about 5 minutes. Wankers!
Nose is dark malts, hint of toffee, soy sauce, umami.
Taste comprises light roast, dark malts, cocoa powder, toffee, charr, light ashen nip.
Medium bodied, prickly carbonation, semi drying close.
This actually tasted decent for an AF stout but these muppets clearly don't understand carbonation levels.

330ml can from Wise Bartender. Gluten Free. Black colour, tan foam head leaving lacing and aroma of roasted malt, ash, liquorice, coffee & chocolate. Taste is roasty, malt, smokey, ash, with dark chocolate, coffee and earthy bitterness. Light bodied, soft carbonation, drying roast bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Can from Wally's Delicatessen, Cardiff. Black with mahogany hints, a tan head and a gentle fizz. Blackberries up front, chocolate and woodsmoke in the middle, and treacle to finish. Body starts off ok but oddly gets much thinner as you drink. It's decent - definitely one of the best low alcohol brews I've had - but as will all low alcohol beers it's held back by the thin body. My quest for a top-notch low alcohol beer goes on, but this one is definitely a big step in the right direction (with the added bonus that it's a rare West Glamorgan tick!). I'll definitely try some more from Drop Bear if I see them.
