Can from A Hoppy Place, Windsor. Aroma combines instant coffee, sweet spices and soggy veg. Opaque muddy dark brown. Frothy light beige head soon retreats. Medium coffee bitterness with a low key spicy edge. The latter are more prominent in to the finish which also develops medium sweetness. Underlying boiled veg.. erm... pumpkin. Light-medium bodied. Light creaminess. Fizzy carbonation. Astringent finish. It's fine. A spicy porter with a dose of veg. Just doesn't do it for me.
