2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
I described the cask version as ’depressing’. I wonder why I bothered with this bottle. Beer is reddish and coppery. Aroma is malty, but not the wonderful rounded grainy malt I love so: this is something vegetal and... like shoe polish. Taste is sour, fizzy and generally gruesome. Even the bitterness is unwelcoming. Perhaps I was just in a bad mood today. Biorhythms or something?
