3/5. Strong on alcohol but not obviously so. Licorice and rooty vegetable notes. Rather thinner than expected.

3/5. Cloudy, earthy beer with deep coriander flavour and a touch of mustard, though not as strong tasting as expected.

Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.

I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.

I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.

Shameless self-promotion
