Keg at the Twice Brewed Inn, Bardon Mill, 15/05/2025.
Murky shit water brown with a light beige cap ... looks terrible!
Nose is biscuit, herb, straw, grains.
Taste comprises earthy fruits, straw, herb, hedgerow, twiggy.
Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, semi drying close with a bitter edge.
Worst beer at this venue by some distance ... looked terrible also ... odd choice for a keg line!

Keg @ Tilt, Birmingham with Rich, Craig and John. Pours a deep mahogany with off-white foam atop. Pleasant bitter I suppose, quite a prickly bitterness with a nice fruity toffee undercurrent, some woody malt shades.
