Fat Cat, Sheffield. Intense beer. A bit too much strong coffee. A roasty bitter finish. Slightly greasy. Just too intense for pleasant drinking. Syrupy mouthfeel. Ugly. Like drinking neat Camp coffee. Palate fatigue sets in - and this eventually becomes undrinkable. Shame - it’s good when brewers play around with something dark and different, but this is a brew that doesn’t work for me.

A Mes rate: Cask in the Fat Cat in Sheffield.
Black body, tan head and rather lovely to look at. Excellent Baltic style brew with plenty roasty toasty notes. Lovely bitter dark chocolate and coffee with some faint fruity hints. Pronounced bitter kick in the finish. Gloriously dry. Great stuff.

Cask at the Fat Cat, Sheffield, on RateBeer Valley of Beer Crawl ’08. Thanks to mes for this one. Dark brown with a beige head. Dark chocolate aroma. Oily, sour roasted taste with a mid bitter finish. Unusual and enjoyable.
