December brings two new Salopian beers to Baron Towers (what a lovely Christmas present!).
Salopian Brewery
 |
| Nice classy labels |
Salopian Brewery
- Catatonic - 5.7% collaboration with Tiny Rebel brewery - "A lush aroma of apricots and mango ripples across a vibrant and spicy fruit filled basket of lychee, pineapple, & subtle passion fruit. The mouth feel is clean and crisp and finished with pine and citrus." - taken from their website as the bottle says nothing
- Midnight Express - 5.2% "Pitch black with a complex tapestry of dark malts that are rich and laden with mocha, bitter cocoa and oats. The hop aroma is fresh, balanced and spicy and drives a tantalisingly clean finish" - taken from their website as the bottle says nothing
Look out for a 'baron rating' for these Salopian Brewery beers soon, and a big thank you to Jake (@SalopianBrewery) for sending them through to me!
