Sample thanks to Grumbo, shared with Blackhaddock after cycling 15 miles to his via the Wrekin. Very dark brown pour, unclear with some sediment visible. Off-white bubbles atop. Aroma brings a curious sweetness, caramel, molasses perhaps? Continues to taste, with some light coffee and liquorice emerging alongside grainy dark malt. Not bad at all.

Five beer mini tasting at my place, with minutemat on 10th July 2020. This was the real reason Mat and I had the tasting, my 141st different country rate. Cheers Grumbo for the sample and thanks Mat for sharing it. Beige head on a dark brown body. A little coffee in the nose and taste for me, malty and a whole lot better than I expected.

Sample from Grumbo, cheers Graham! Brown colour, short-lived biege foam head leaving alittle lacing and aroma of malt, fruity, with milk chocolate hints.
