A welsh american style IPA
Appearance
Cloudy light mahogany which good size white head.
Aroma
Hops and carrot whiskey (lethal farmer home brew).
Taste
Smooth than expected then some bitter hop with chewyness. It fades then the finish gets bitter and bitter as time goes on, with slowly warming alcohol.
Overall
Note complex enough as the American IPA a good start but needs a bit more malt IMO. 6/10

A beer brewed in Tottenham Hale, a place were I lived many moons ago. This is a smoked Porter

Medicinal smoke with dark chocolate
