Side pour, Brighton, 12/17/24. Clear garnet, dark mahogany. Big ol greige head. Great retention. Moderate chocolate, light mineral and good base malt. Most importantly, clean. Not over/under hopped. Pretty good aroma for its size. Juicy chocolate and plum-raisin. Milky roast with big chocolate and a dry, mineral-strong finish. Wow, Widowmakers draughts are way better than their cans, though for unexpected reasons. Coming from Notch, the fact that this lager is great, is even more impressive.
