M0RHI (1000), Luxembourg, Luxembourg Jun 1, 2008 Cask at the Whey Pat Ale Festival, St Andrews. Dark golden with a white head that dissipates quickly. Nose is malty but very minimal with some dark fruit, plums? and some sweetness. Mouth is bitter with some maltiness and some hop bitterness creeping towards the end. Finishes painfully dry - not one to have on a lunchbreak.
