Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Hazy golden, no head. lactic black currant aroma. Medium sweet with rounded mouthfeel. Fruity and lightlyu caramelly. Some alcohol is evident, but overshadowed by lactic citricity. Fairly low bitterness. The acidity puzzles me. Is it intentional? It seem somewhat out of place, but also gives an interesting twist.

[500ml bottle from The Little Beer Shop, Blofield, Norfolk] Gave this as a gift to my brother Jim, but he shared it with me anyway - cheers mate! Pours a deep ruby-black with no head. Tastes of liquorice & chocolate, but is a little weak and watery for the style. Slight bitterness, some malt. Follows through into a very dry, saddle-leather aftertaste. Not bad.
