Cask handpull at White Horse, Parsons Green. Having been to the Twickenham brewery during the time that Urbain from Struise was over brewing this, I approached it with a lot of anticipation. Very dark brown with thin beige head. Chocolate and malt aroma. Just a little watery in mouth, could do with a bit more condition. Quite full on the swallow though, with good drying malt on finish. Good full choc maltiness that has a hint of spice on the finish. 3.5/5 Re-rate at SIBA Hop Farm, Paddock Wood. So much better than in White Horse. The roasted choc fullness is superb. Really woke me up. Startled me, great body, aroma of choc and malt is lovely. Great in mouth. Just so much better and fuller.
