3 guests on. Barmaid gave me a great excuse for giving such a large head on my beer. Its such a lovely day and I wanted you to be able to go outside as quickly as possible. And in Transylvania, where I am from all men like a large head on their beer!

BeerABVScoreNotes
East London (ELB) - Cowcatcher4.80AcceptableTook ages to pour, smelt fine when poured but lost its condition half way through. Never judge your beer till near the bottom Chris Excell used to tell me. Quite right.
