Dark amber red with a copper glow. Newcastle last scored four against Everton! This forecastle isn't a big scorer though as the added ginger is hardly apparent, and the sweet additions make it particularly unstoutlike. It's not undrinkable though.
gave a cheers!

On the day I'm drinking this beer, 98 years ago actress Mae West went to prison for obscenity connected to her play 'Sex' she starred in. From that fable to this one, a full-bodied light sweet tropical fruit notes, strength a part too, but good clean texture.
