Postmortem Brew Review
Deep brown in color.
Nicely balanced malt smell & taste.
Also a balanced amount of hops.
Good lacing of head. 

Grim Reaper's Eulogy
Wasn't too sure about this one at first because of the word 'bitters' in the name. I mean, c'mon...what can be so 'extra special' about something like 'bitters' ??? Come to find out it is just a good balancing of hops to punch up the taste. It wasn't awful, but could had been a bit better. Overall though it drank very well with the meal I ate.

Note: There are a bunch of tiny green dragons as a watermark running throughout the label which is kinda' neat. But the real cool factor is a big-ass, red dragon on the label. Us reapers like cool big-ass, red dragons!

Where to Dig Up More About This Beer
Felinfoel - Double Dragon Ale
Felinfoel Brewery Co. Ltd
Llanelli, Wales UK
Est.1878

Brain Damage Quotient = 4.2 % ABV
Fluid Oz. = 16.9 

Postmortem Brew Review
Full drinking premium ale.
Malty aroma with only a hint of hops.
Rich amber color.
Frothy, lacing head.

Grim Reaper's Eulogy
Being light on the alcohol side, offers you to imbibe this 'big boy' without fear. And though it's 500ml would be easy to share with a mate, you'll tell them to get their own. Yum!
