1/3 pint cask @ Southwark taproom - as 'Borough Market Brown Ale' as per the beer label.
Brune foncée-cuivre, col blanc-cassé crémeux et tenace.
Arôme sur un bouquet chargé en bonnes notes de grillé-toasté, café, fin chocolat tout en restant très anglaise - support délicat en amertume en rétro-nasal.
Palais sur une belle base maltée avec pas mal de grillé, notes fines de café-espresso tout en ayant le caractère parfait pour un cask avec cette tenue de bouche soyeuse. Rappel d'un léger chocolat-noisette - pâte à tartiner avec une finalité houblonnée amer.

Cask pint at the Ivy House. Nice looking, deep amber with an off-white head. Fairly typical marzen - sweet treacle-y notes, little hops, not that interesting. Went for it given the season's that's in it but a reminder that I'm just not a fan of the style.
