Third, gravicask, shared with Finn at Twickenham Beer and Cider Festival. Clear golden body, filmy layer, clingy lacing. Ripe citrus smell, hints of peaches. Citrus and peaches to the taste profile followed by leafy hops bitterness towards the ending. Fair enough. (24.10.2019).

A colleague who subscribes to Beer 52 kindly gave me this as he knew I was ticking off Surrey beers - to be fair he benefitted from a Pohjala beer in return. Sweet chocolate aroma. Dark and glossy. Foamy beige head soon shrinks away. Medium bitter coffee with a hoppy edge. Underlying creamy sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Dry slightly astringent finish. Nice porter with a bitter bite.
