Can at home in Hackney - sourced from Pip Stop online. Pours deep brown with a foamy, khaki head. Has some vaguely artificial peanut butter, but more unfortunately there's a pervasive tang to the beer that's definitely not right. Background roast, dry cocoa, a little rubber, earth, berries. Light to medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Finishes with more burnt rubber, tangy notes, chalky peanut butter. Not great. Perhaps infected. Pity. That's two - my first two - from this brewery and neither has hit the mark.
