Description
Distortion Brewing started life in the garage of founder Andy North's home in South London. Originally from Battersea, he is delighted to have found premises back home.

Distortion Brewing was originally inspired by a road trip to the US West Coast back in 2007. Here, American Craft Beer was tasted for the first time and the hop addiction started!

1/2 pint draft @ Distortion taproom.
Brune foncée, col crémeux café au lait bien tenace.
Arôme sur un tr!s bon bouquet biscuité, espresso, grillé/torréfié avec note de chocolat qui perdure délicatement en retrait. Amertume en support, plus vers le floral, et léger terreux.
Palais sur une belle base grillée - torréfiée sur des notes espresso - léger chocolat au lait avec pointe de noisette en retrait.
Franchement sympa et à seulement 4.4%, cela passe très bien comme bière de soif, tout en restant complexe.
