Bottle. Deep copper in colour with a tight, off-white head and decent carbonation. Sweet, pineapple and mango aroma with a touch of chocolate powder. Full mouth feel, with coffee, oak, orange and grapefruit, before a toasty, dryish finish. Perhaps a touch too much going on, but an interesting beer nonetheless.

Essex (46) - Cardiff, WALES - JAN 5, 2013
Brewed in collaboration with Marverine Cole, using Galaxy and Montueka hops. Poured from a 330ml bottle into a Fullers snifter glass. Pours a dark reddy/orange colour with a small head. Smells of caramel like malts and fruity, citrusy hops. Tastes very tropical, fruits like mango from the hops, and roasted caramel/toffee malts. An overriding bitterness from the hops and a quite a nice full mouthfeel. Overall i’m quite pleasantly surprised by this brew. I wasn’t expecting much from Brains but this is not only original but tasty too.
