Can from Beer 52 – drank at home. Another gushing stout – enormous frothy beige head on s murky dark brown body. Aroma is roast malts and cocoa. In the mouth it is extremely tart, almost vinegary. Fairly watery as well and difficult to spot and actual flavour. This is pretty bad – not sure I will finish it...

330ml can via Beer52: BB 30th July 203, drank in Devon on 18th August 2023. Slight haze to the dark brown body, weak tanned head. Someone forgot to put the Cacao Nibs in and substituted them with wine vinegar, not a great idea! Struggled to finish it, a lesser man would have drain poured it.

On straight at Underdog in Dublin. This is an Oatmeal IPA and NEIPA seems like the best category based on the appearance. Pours hazy dark yellow with full white head. Mouthfeel is the stat here with luscious richness. Also nice citrus flavor.
