Back at Leicester 09 for the Friday night session. Lovely filthy yellow rim around pitch. Big bittering dry hop, burnt toast and lingering chocolate ashiness. Aroma blackened barley and inedibly charred fire alarm toast heading straight for the bin. Some deep woody nut notes in there. Rock solid.

Cask conditioned handpump Star Geddington. A black beer with a gorgeous frothy coffee head. A sour fruity stout with coffee notes apparent. Some sweet lactic character from time to time but it’s the sour frutiness which dominates. Alright.
