3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask conditioned at The Holborn Whippet, Holborn, London. Black with cream to tan head. A big slap in the mush of smoky bacon / gammon right at the start. There is a full bitterness from the chocolate roasted malts, drying a touch peppery perhaps but that might be the smokiness. Very flavoursome a pretty decent.
