Draft @ Against the Grain, Dublin. Brune, col crémeux café au lait léger. Arôme au nez léger malté, finement chocolaté, caramel, rétro fin citronné et pointe de fleuri. Palais est malté, bon café et pointe grillée le tout avec une petite douceur de levure sur la fin, amertume citronnée. Un effet un petit côté black IPA se note. Au final, sec sur une note cendrée et grains concassés. Amertume légère avec un effet café qui revient sur la fin. Par moment, je note même un effet fruit noir.
