berkshirejohn Profile

[33cl can from Beer52.] A cloudy dark amber pour with a fast fading beige head; pleasant orangey aroma with a hint of chocolate; smooth in the mouth with a chocolate orange taste and some rather sharp alcohol that immediately hits the back of the throat; then a softer chocolate fudge body and a pleasing orange aftertaste.

Much better than the Los Tres Cerditos (https://brewver.com/beers/1106601/Los-Tres-Cerditos) this was paired with.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A dark copper coloured pour with a fast fading white head; malty aroma with some orange; caramel malt taste with a little orange; then a harsh finish with some raw alcohol. More like a strong ale than a stout.
