Bottle very kindly passed on by Nigel (Hopshackle brewer) Many thanks Nigel, shared with friends at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 17th 2010 Dark brown in colour (as I recall, my phone notes are very sketchy) the head is light beige. Bitter in the mouth with plenty of roastedness, good coffee flavours flooding through. This is also surprising in that it is really hoppy, with fresh green resinous hops showing. Its a nice beer and another interesting experiment, well done Nigel. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4
