BlackHaddock Profile

Hand pulled half pint at the White Hart, Shifnal on 13th March 2026. The only beer at their little festival I didn't like. I found this harsh and the hop content too dry and bitter for my palate. Didn't like the aroma either. Don't like hitting the small guys/independent brewers, but this wasn't for me at all.
