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.

Moderate sweetness, medium roasted bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Slight coffee finish develops.

Bottle at Black Sheep. Opaque dark brown with a beige foam. Dry chocolate with light roast, caramel and hint of iron. Once again balanced, light and clean but not memorable.

0.33l bottle thanks to Lore. Hazy dark brown body with a thin light brown head. Aroma of chocolate, pine and citruses. Taste of chocolate, pine, grapefruit, gooseberry and grapeseed. Quite nice, but I’d call this a black IPA.
