jamestulloch (7262) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - JAN 10, 2022UPDATED: JAN 10, 2022 Can from Lupe Pintos. Black body with a dark brown head that quickly fades. No lacing. Aroma of liquorice, salted caramel and espresso. Flavour of umami, nuts, Worcestershire sauce and salted chocolate. Medium to full body with a chewy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. It’s pricey but worth it. This is a truly delicious beer that tingles on the tongue.
