3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught Fast gone yellowish head over dark cola-coloured beer. Liquorice, toffee, Engelse drop , quite dry-roasted. Coffee, dry-roasted but with a sweet, toffee/caramel finish. Goes over without brusqueness, rather well-balanced. Medium to well-bodied, very slick, but a texture as watered-down syrup. Oh well, certainly not bad, but...
