minutemat (14555) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - FEB 14, 2022UPDATED: FEB 14, 2022 Keg @ KK's Steel Mill as 'KK's Dark Ale' while watching Moonspell before Paradise Lost. Also enjoyed by Nick Holmes onstage. Pitch black pour, creamy off-white collar. Smooth, almost silky palate. Had no idea what this was when I tried it, so expected something thin and cheap, but this has a surprising depth of flavour to it, nicely rich some chocolate and liqorice notes, mild soy, with an appealing sweetness, medium bodied. Ok.
reidyboy (1685) - Shrewsbury, Shropshire, ENGLAND - JAN 31, 2022UPDATED: JAN 31, 2022 [Pearl Jet] Near black with a small, bubbly tan head and roasted malt and vanilla on the nose. Smooth and creamy, chocolate and vanilla show their faces in the roasted malt flavour, and there's the merest hint of bitterness in the finish
