jjsint Profile - Brewver

Nitro draught at Duke's, Halifax. Dark brown, opaque with a thick and fairly tight khaki head. Nice coffee aroma, traces of liquorice, some vanilla. Sweetvtaste, more vanilla and touches of lighter dark chocolate blends. The heavy bitterness comes in fairly quickly after this and rests gently on the back of the tongue. Weighty body for the ABV. Carbonation kept to a minimum to give a lovely nitro mouthful. Really good.

Keg draught at the Real Ale Classroom, Leicester city centre. Dark brown, opaque with a small uneven khaki head. Floral hoppy notes of the aroma are underpinned by coffee and roasted coconut. Taste is intensely bitter with piney and citrus hop. Even more bitter in the finish. Medium body, a little flat. A decent beer from Kernel.
