3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Roasted berries and a milky feel in the mouth. Do you know Horace? I bought a t-shirt off him on Sunday. It has a robot on it. I’ve not seen it but it was free. I only had to pay £3.50 p&p. I like robots (I watched Wall E tonight). Horace plays bass in The Specials. I enjoyed his book Ska’d for Life. See what he did there? Spookily a Specials song has just come on the T.V.

Flavours were roasted malts, cough mixture, sweetness, ash, chocolate and bitterness. Aftertaste had dark chocolate, roasted malts and bitterness. The taste was a bit weird but the aroma was great.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
35,5 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu
Aroma has cocoa, sugar and some milk chocolate - and an essence-like feeling. Flavour has lots of milk chocolate, some cocoa and a harsh finish with coffee. Becomes a bit sticky towards the end of the glass. Good for this ABV.
