35cl bottle @home, bought at Beer Corner, Athens. This was part of my DIY beer&food pairing experiments. Today’s plate was pork steak marinaded in chilli, coriander, paprika spices, fresh tarragon and rosemary, olive oil and scotch ale, along with mashed potatoes and whole grain bread roasted in the remnants of the pork’s juices. The pairing was one hell of a success! Couldn’t even imagine how beautifully this stout would be paired with my food. Definitely one of the most tasteful stouts I’ve had so far. Pours opaque black with dark brown long lasting head. Fizzy carbonation, excellent lacing, full body with bitter-sweet finish and smooth sweet aftertaste. Heavy in alcohol content and strong malty character. Aromas of roasted coffee, caramel. brown sugar and hints of chocolate. Resin and pine hops. Hints of licorice, raisin and dried fruits melting sweetly in your mouth. The food and beer pairing created complex layers of several sweet tastes, and made me smile like a five-year old. Great stout!

Pre GBBF tasting at Chris and Ruth’s. Clear paleish gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and semi dry. Modest fine carbonation. Light pale malts. Some floralness. Very mild citrus. Light finish. Reasonably clean and certainly had many worse.

Colore giallo oro. Limpidezza completa. Schiuma compatta e cremosa, a bolle fini, poco aderente al vetro, a veloce sparizione. Intensità e persistenza olfattiva sufficiente, con fragranza persistente e accenno di malto. Amaro non invasivo ma duraturo. Gusto appagato ed elementi bilanciati.
