Munro’s (Glasgow, Scotland) tap... Light and dark, quite soft with a chocolate finish... Oyster element is interesting and a bit different... Nice little beer.

Cask conditioned Air pressure Holborn Whippet London 28/02/13. A black beer with a light brown to tan coloured tight head and thick lacing. Fishy notes amongst the sweet and malty aroma. Dark malts are joined by banana flavours in the mouth. Thinner than desired or expected. Tasty enough but appears to miss a trick.
