Methodical Trouble Shooting by Shiny Brewery

Richie Holmes is drinking a Methodical Trouble Shooting by Shiny Brewery at The Borehole

Zesty pale, with some distinct notes beyond average citrus pales. Lots of lemon up front, but they lead to spicier, herbal notes at the top. Body and head feel quite heavy. And absolutely no hint that it’s beyond about 4.5%!

English Stout by 4T’s Brewery Ltd

Line playing up, sadly, so could only have a taster. Seems like it could be a belter, with a very traditional flavour profile for a stout, coffee, chocolate, nothing venturing towards dark roasted malt, liquorice or molasses. On that alone, I rate it!

Amarillo nicely lift this brew, and for a 4.2% hand pull it is modern styled. Plenty of malt accompanies. Robustly bodied, reasonable head. Good stuff, Lune Brrew Co.

Over 12 years since I checked this in, quite possibly the last time I had it too! Still a beauty. A not so wee heavy!
