Black and Tan Experiments #5 - Camden Town Brewery

After four experiments involving bottles, I now have my first with draught beer.

I'm currently at Camden Town Brewery, who have opened their doors to launch US Hells. On the table in front of me I have a half each of Pale Ale and Ink, and a spare glass which I have poured a bit from each into to give me my Camden Brewery Black and Tan.

Ink, as served here, is wonderfully creamy, and a world away from the disappointing beer I had at The Jolly Butchers in January. It has a gorgeous mouthfeel, and to me only further proves how overrated Guinness actually is.

The pale ale has a nice and rather familiar hop element to it, both in taste and aroma. There's an element of citrus in there. For a pale ale, it's actually very drinkable.

Now for the mixture. There's still some of the creaminess from the stout there. The hops from the pale ale aren't as prominent, but the flavour of the stout is less harsh.

I think this might be the best Black and Tan so far. It isn't loaded with complex and interesting flavours like the Brewdog and Great Divide ones, but it's very drinkable.
