Keg at The Old Custom House, Padstow. Aroma of the sea. Lasting nitro foam. Not 100% my style of beer but respect for it's interesting complexity here.

Bottle, 11C. Black, a cm of light tan head. Roast, coffee and light bread aroma, some molasses. Light but creamy. Lots of coffee, more singed sugars than roast, really decisive bitterness at the end. Refreshing, involving.
