Rat Brewery (Ossett) Reviews

Rune	3.3 Rat Rattucino Well kept cask ale, half-pint, shared with Finn at Bacchus. Fawn-coloured head resting over a coal black body, spotty lacing. Slightly roasted chocolate malts on the nose, semi-sweet, appealing. Chocolate dominates the taste character, lactose sweetness behind. Rounded, mid-sweet malt-driven close, lightly roasted. Pleasing to a certain degree. (Newcastle upon Tyne, 19.03.2024). Saturday, April 6, 2024

MarcinG	4 Rat The Grapes of Rat 1/3 @ The Cellar, Chester as the price was jaw dropping. Bardzo ładny ciemny, mahoniowy kolor z rubinowym refleksem. Piana nikła. Wyraźne nuty beczek po czerwonym winie. Słodkie, suszone owoce. Mokre drewno, przyprawy. Dość wodniste jak na takie abv ale alkohol dość mocno daje popalić.
