In a week of political lies unmasked this beer does not lie, it's full of chocolate in both aroma and taste, and it lingers. A reddish dark-brown colour, it has an easy-drinking texture too.

6/2/2026. Cask at the 16th Elysian Winter Beer Festival. Aroma is supermarket chocolate ice cream, cocoa powder, coffee, wafer, coconut. Quite weak bodied. Aroma the high point and it's likeable.

Suzi Quatro was first in a band called The Pleasure Seekers. I'm pleasure seeking with this Quattro, a dark clear amber ale with a decent smoothness to its texture. It has mild red ale style characteristics with a light bitterness being the dominant facet, which lingers a while.
