On tap at Crucible, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out very faded raspberries and a little herbal grassy notes. Flavour is pretty herbaceous and crunchy, with pretty much no notice of the raspberry. Weak stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of Twelve Bar / Crucible Steel String Imperial Porter on 04 Nov 2016 at 20:48 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5.5. Original review text: On tap at Crucible, pours black with a small brown head. Aroma is very dense, with lots of roast and dark cocoa. Flavour is similar, with dry bitter cocoa, roast and earthy notes. Very sludgy palate. A bit messy and unpleasantly thick, but decent overall.
