Fungus Rock is the small limestone islet right at the entrance of Dwejra Bay, on the west coast of Gozo. Its flat top is covered in a little plant, the Malta Fungus, that was treasured by the Knights for its medicinal properties. Fungus Rock is a hoppy stout brewed with a rich blend of dark malts that creates a distinctive aroma of green coffee beans, fresh walnuts, roasted barley, and subtle chocolate notes. Don't be put off by the colour; this beer is surprisingly nimble on the palate thanks to a dry bitter finish and a light acidity.

Dark brown colour, almost black, nice frothy head, fair lacing. Aroma is nuts, chocolate, a bit of raisin. Medium bitterness, a bit of unpleasant sourness. Creamy texture. Good.

Bière 33 cl plus au Burger. Ink à La Valette, Malte. Couleur brune sombre et peu de mousse, on dirait un Coca-Cola dans le verre. Nez malté et légèrement grillé, bouche plutôt douce, rien d'exceptionnel mais je suis toujours contente de boire une bière de ce registre. (M)

Christmas present from my sister-in-law. Roasty liquorice aroma with some floral elements. Opaque dark cola brown. Creamy beige head. Medium bitter. Dark coffee and what I can only describe as damp charcoal. Sour berries in the finish with an almost lactose sweetness but all rather ethereal. Medium bodied. Creamy. Average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. This Stout had bitterness but otherwise lacks depth.
