Cask @ The Southern, 270712
Black, yellowish tan creamy head
Aroma - soft roast malt, faint chocolate
Taste - soft mellow roasted malts, soft dark malts, light bitter, I’m not getting much here, too understated
Palate - soft carb, thin to medium body, smooth texture. Finish - soft mellow roast malt, hint of chocolate, not much of a finish
Overall - It’s really smooth but it’s too understated to be honest - still above average beer

Sampled @ Monthly De Molen Tasting. Almost pitch black colored, medium sized beige to light brown head that disappears quickly. Smell malts, grains, dark and roasted malts, oatmeal. Taste dark and roasted malts, lightly bitter, some alcohol. A bit unbalanced, but not bad.
