2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
[500ml bottle, gift from Maureen and Dave (who said they got if from the brewery shop) - cheers!] It looks jolly tempting - a deep chestnut brown with a good-size beige head. The smell is OK too - some nice chocolate malts there. But on tasting, it’s unexpectedly very fizzy, and the flavours are all washed out - there’s hints of chocolate and malt, along with some minerals, but overall very watery indeed. Almost no bitterness, and yet no sweetness - in fact, really very little aftertaste at all. Disappointing compared to the appearance.
