Though this is my first entry to the blog, I'm gonna keep it short (I'm typing with a stylus on an Android keyboard).
Tsarry Night is from the Hesket Newmarket Brewery, Cumbria. I picked up a bottle on a recent visit to the Lake District - the main selling point was the abv of 7.5%... And you can taste it!
It pours like melted chocolate. It's a traditional style stout, apparently supplied to the Russian Court in the mid 19th Century.
When I drink it, I get the coffee/liquorice/smokey taste you expect from a good stout. Mostly, however, it's that strength that is overpowering. For me that's not a bad thing; imagine it as wine.
Beer barrel rating: 8 barrels (out of a possible 10).
Enjoy!
