Redchurch Brewery, Hoxton Stout

A beer revelation for me this Redchurch Hoxton Stout. I have to confess to drinking this whilst past my best, so my notes are (very charitably speaking) perhaps somewhat 'lyrical':

"Wet socks and dirt with an arrogant, slurring head. The nose is coal dust plus something extra and undefinable. Wet leather in the taste with a cheeky sweetness at the end of the sip. Definitely the more tropical hops were chucked into this brew. Effed palette from dodgy fried chicken and some ludicrous chili sauce. A rare fruitiness on the repeats. Stouts work really well at the end of the night and this one became better and better towards the end."

There was actually more in the notes, but we won't go there.
