An Teallach Hector

Gravity, Turf Tavern Autumn Ale Festival. Mostly black with slightly brown highlights. A little rum to the aroma, but mostly molasses, really thickly laid on, to the point where it reminds me of barbecue sauce. Smoky roast, rather sour molasses that gets more sour as you go, to the point of being decidedly unpleasant. Lots of flavor, which is more than some stouts can boast. However, it’s seriously out of balance and weird.

[Cask from The Three Judges] dark brown/black with minimal head. Toasty aroma, some chocolate, berry fruit, slightly off note of balsamic. light body, slighty dry, some off flavours and a little tartness which is out of place. Summit wrong with this one me thinks.
