Tasting at Leighton’s Flat. Thanks to our host for this one. Opaque dark brown beer, big fluffy pale tan head. Palate is very airy and semi dry. Good fine carbonation. Airy dark malts, touch of roast. Trace of lactose. Roast bitterness, some coffee. More dark malt cream and light and bitter floralness. Light dry finish. Bitterish linger. Decent.
