L- Quite deep chestnut, pours clear with an instantly vanishing patch of foam.
S- It has a pungent smell, rich and deep yet 'bright', hard to define (unsual!)
T- It's certainly bright, more-so than I was expecting for a 7.5%. In fact it has quite a sour facet to it too.
F- The slightly sharp/sour note note dominates. It's a fresh can but I'm honestly unsure if this beer might have 'turned' or it's just something very unorthodox. For example the beer currently seems to have no carbonation at all.
O- What to make of this? I've had a Yorkshite Stingo beer before and enjoyed it, deep/rich etc. This one... it reminds me of rough edges you find in small-batch Normandy 'farmhouse cider'. It has parallels, rustic with sour notes and very low carbonation. I don't think it works for me in a beer.
440ml can BB: 25/08/2021 Bought from TremblingMadness/York as part of a large pick-your own consignment to London.

Having rated the beer^ I'll now read the can for clues! Contains black treacle, no other info of style/tasting notes to be found.
