Heidbummer (1935) - SCOTLAND - DEC 23, 2017Keg, Salt Horse. Pours black, foamy tan head. Well carbonated which makes it way too drinkable for an impy. Big roasted coffee and dark chocolate aroma. It's dry rather than sweet which I really like. Big espresso and pure dark chocolate taste, some spices. Very very good.
