Can from House Of Trembling Madness. I spilled a glass that had 3/4 of the beer in it - an expensive mistake… From the remaining 1/4… Clear amber body with a thin off-white head. No visible carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of strawberry, toffee apple and stewed tea. Flavour of caramel, fig and strawberry laces. Medium to full body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. This is warming and wonderful. I spilled most of this so it’s a great excuse to buy another can. The small amount of beer I tried was sensational. I think Sinnister should consider 330ml cans (or smaller) rather than 440ml cans.

Can from Great Grog (less than a week after the first one I spilled most of…) Clear amber body with a thin off-white head that fades. No visible carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of toffee, fig and strawberry syrup. Flavour of strawberry laces, vanilla, candy and caramel. Medium to full body with a chewy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is utterly delicious. If I was to blend it with a beer, it’d be Cromarty’s Red Rocker.

Есть какао, ваниль, сухость от шоколада, нотки прям несквика в который добавили немного вискаря на хорошей бочке. В целом хорошо, но сладости хочется немного больше.
