Keg at Anspach & Hobday, Bermondsey. One of the brand new beers they have on for a takeover. Clear light chestnut. Foamy off-white head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Nutty. A smoky edge. A hint of booze. Flavourwise it matches the aroma. Sweet doughy malts. A nuttiness. Latterly develops a bitter smoky and boozy edge. Medium bodied. Oily-ish. Soft carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Noice.

Keg at Anspach & Hobday, Bermondsey.. Surprisingly clear light gold. Thin translucent white head barely skims the surface. Aroma is malty with abitter grainy and slightly metallic edge. Bitter. Grainy. Slightly tart citrus. Ever so slightly metallic. Underlying malts become more prominent into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation is buoyant. Long dry slightly astringent finish. It's a decent Helles innit.

The night before my first National Winter Beer Festival in over a decade, so looking for a few easy scoops this evening as not to spoil anything for tomorrow. Starting then with this quite malty craft lager, and quite deep tasting too.

Аромат очень солодовый, хоть и не сильно пилзенский хмель ощущается, но есть приятные ячмень, небольшая сладость, как будто намеки на грушу. Цвет золотой, красивый, пенка отличная. Вкус с небольшой сладкой начинкой, немного груши от этого. При глотке совсем легкая сухоть, снова немного ячменя и хмеля, но без особой горячи. Можно пить, неплохо.

Аромат женный, но немного слабоватый, также немного черного шоколада с кислинкой, намеки на кофе. Цвет черный, но не угольный, пенка есть но не стойкая с крупными мыльными пузырями. Вкус вроде и есть но мне показался он чересчур водянистым несмотря на почти 6 градусов. Тело пустое как будто в которое кинули много кофе, есть немного жареного солода, намеки на шоколад и кислинку от него в конце. В целом норм, но думал будет лучше.
