Half-pint, draught at the Mash Paddle brewery and Tap Room. Shared with Finn. Spotty lacing from a remaining fawn-coloured head, black as pitch. Roasted dark malty nose, nuts and caramel. Grainy chocolate leads the way, the flavour character is joined by nuts and a caramel bite. Plain roasted ending, dry, and long-lived. Likeable. (Bermondsey, London 10.02.2023).
