Late in the evening and only a handfull of people in. But the beer was good.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Wentworth - Black Zak4.60GoodVery dark ruby if not black, with lasting beige head. Charcoal roasted malt on aroma, good fullness in mouth. Some dark fruits on the swallow. Some roasted bitterness on the finish. This is a pretty good fruity dark bitter. The sting on the finish is really good as is the character of the beer. Juice and fullness in the mouth.
