Contract brewed for The Strongroom, Shoreditch, London.

Ruby-tinged black with off-white nitro head like carpet. Sweet coffee on the nose with some sour roast that balances it out.
Ash and fig up front but suddenly dies with no roast and no hops.
Ice cream float finish and sweet linger. Medium to full, very creamy, soft.

Sells out flavor for drinkability. Burnt sugar, but no roastiness so definitely not a Dry Irish, in spite of it looking, feeling and being pitched that way. Not bad at all, but just no edge to hold the interest.
