| Philip Pirrip |  | 08 Mar 2022 | Tasting notes say this typical of the style! Awful poured flat, lifeless, heavy on caramel, no off flavours but a chore to drink. Then when back home noted my previous comments on this beer "Beaten into submission about a third way down a pint glass so left it for slops. Over toffee-ish and poured flat and lifeless". A trend forming? |
