L- Mid-chestnut brown, slightly hazy, pours with thin ring of pale tan bubbles with some minor rising CO2. Doesn't look too promising right now.
S- Seems light considering it packs 7.8%. Liqour-like alcohol is the main smell, with some toasty grains.
T- Ok, woah, what a contrast vs the above! Rich, pungent, puddingy. The heft of the ABV% really comes over with a minor balanced hoppy tang into the finish.
F- Rich, filling, more of a winter-warmer proposition (I'm drinking this during a hot July day). Little CO2 visible, but enough in the mouth to feel right.
O- For me this is a real slow-supping beer, it's not something I could or would want to go at at my regular speed. Interesting to try, but at the price not one for my repeat shopping list. Despite all the above, I surprise myself by saying it lacks character, or rather anything that clearly identifies it as THIS one beer that I'd seek about again. Compare/contrast vs a good Belgian Dubbel but without a unique ID and hence unique-selling-point.
A 'crafty can' with adhesive label on bare aluminium can. The graphic on it is beyond weird - maybe it's make more sense after a few more cans? It's black+white and a very dark image of... er.... like ... at night peering through a the letterbox of a door covered in black fur towards an even darker interior. No idea what that's about, and no interest either in the spiel about BREXIT on the lable. My 'O/Overall' score also reflects this cans extraordinary price.
440ml can. £7 take-out (after 20% discount!) from House of Cans (which I added to the Directory) in the redevelopment behind King's Cross Station in London. BB: 03/2020.
