On tap at Hare and Hounds Birmingham. Not much to say here. Malty, thin, no balls at all. But pleasant enough and it helped with catching my breath after tackling the Kernel. I’m going to play with a Yeti tonight. It’s going to be chewy. Yum!

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: MAR 13, 2012 Medium amber colour opaque, with a light tan head. Sweet malt and light roast smell. A little wateryStarts a little thin and moves to a sweet toffee, malt, chocolate, caramel and peach taste leaving a medium bitter aftertaste. The zero to sweet to bitter is a great move and goes down easy.
