Bottle from House Of Trembling Madness. Black body with a thick beige head. No visible carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of cocoa and charred pineapple. Flavour of blueberry and milk chocolate. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. I donโt think Mosaic is the honest suited to this style but itโs still a very tasty and well made beer.

Missed last time. Brewed/bottled Feb 26. Roasted malty with dark chocolate, singed brown sugar, touch of coffee roast, lovely robust mosaic hoppy notes coming through, pine needles, nice body and mouthfeel, solid roasted malty and hoppy finish. Lovely.

29/4/2023. Bottle shared by Colin, cheers. Pours clear black with a small frothy tan coloured head. Good-looking beer. Aroma of cocoa, dates, berries, chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, pine, ash, chocolate orange, strawberry and tea. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium body, slightly creamy, soft carbonation. Very good.

Medium sweet flavour, gorgeous burnt pine, baking cocoa, torched meat, ash, earth. Medium bodied with massaging carbonation and velvety texture. Bittersweet finish, layered dark malts, more cocoa, pine, orange rind, meat. Superb.

On cask at Kernel taproom, Bermondsey, London. A black coloured pour with a healthy beige head on top. Roasty, malty, chocolate, coffee taste and aroma with a slight sweetness. Excellent Kernel porter on cask and so drinkable. I could drink a lot of this.
