This beer has me realising that I need to add a star rating to this site. This is the most interesting beer I’ve tasted this year. It’s like a Guinness but more tasty, but without being heavier.
Enjoyed this one, poured from a bottle, at a cosy little place in Regensburg (Bavaria, Germany) called the Cafe Lila.
