Hogan SamplingAcceptable03 Nov 2024 Not a lot of head and lacing and what was there soon evaporated. A spicy flavoured bitter with a honey-infused hoppiness.

Hogan SamplingGood27 Sep 2024 Also fresh on today and a good head and lacing with a long-lasting bitter mouthfeel.
Hogan SamplingGood03 Sep 2024 I thought I would give this one another go since trying it on Sunday. Such a good head and less medicinal than on Sunday by a long way but malty to the "nth degree", as you could not have packed more malt into it if you tried! Think also of chestnuts in a soup for this one, a splash of honey and liberal sprinklings of lavender. A few hours later and I was not sure I would hold it down but my stomach accepted it after all.

Philip PirripNot Tried01 Sep 2024 Newly on
Hogan SamplingGood01 Sep 2024 New on with a frothy head and fine lacing. Sharp to taste and to the bottom of the glass but fizzing on the tongue and very, very malty. It was like drinking a soup as although clear, it had a chewy mouthfeel. One sufficed.
