On handpull at the Lumsden. Pours opaque black with a thick lingering coffee colour head. Aroma is sweet chocolate, little creamy, lots of toast, little savoury earthiness. Flavour is initial milk chocolate into a salty umami earth character with plenty of toast and a little charcoal. It’s thick, creamy and luxurious and works perfectly on the hand pull. Really quite a lot going on, in a very good way.

Leighton’s flat clearance. Thanks to unclean Daniel. Opaque dark brown beer, tidy tan head. Palate is airy and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Smooth malts with developing coffee bitterness. Tangy dark fruits. Bitter coffee start to dominate. Dry finish. Fine.
