What about the beer?
Colour is dark cola brown with a two-finger thick natural white head.
Aroma has roasted malts, sweet liquorice and orange. Taste begins with
charcoaly bitter roast. Bitter roast and mild grapefruit take over with
some liquorice side tone. Towards the end grapefruit
and pepper spices come through with gentle pine. Aftertaste has dry
charcoal and piny bitter roast.
Decent and tasty India Black Ale. Nicely versatile flavours: roast
dominates the start, but citrus strikes through near the finish. Some
exciting peppery spice near the finish, too. However, the body seems to
be a bit thin - the taste doesn't have a firm grip.
Good stuff from the Poriginal brewery, anyway.
Ölbeat
Well, don't know if the beer can fill the boots of the song, but this was actually decided before the first sip. It just was about time to have some Sabbath on the blog after a short break. Actually, the match ain't so bad.
