Half-pint, cask ale, at Nag's Head. Shared with Finn. Black in the glass, naked surface, spotty lacing. Moderate coconuts and chocolate on the nose. Vanilla sweet chocolate flavours joined by nuts, lightly spiced. Creamy malts to the ending, mid sweet. Satisfying. (Reading 20.10.2019).

Delt med Rune. Svart. Skumring med litt farge. Aroma av melkesjokolade. Smaken blåbær. Lett tørr avslutning.

Cask at Southampton Arms. Light golden, not much head. Aroma and taste are grapefruit, not so much else. Taste has a bit of yeastiness about it too. Alright though. --- Beer merged from original tick of Mosaic Pale Ale on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:05 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.
