Supplier: Beers of Europe
The XXXX is supposed to denote the strength and depth of the beer, and Wrasslers is to commemorate Michael Collins' favourite tipple by Wrasslers of Clonakilty. They say that this is a representation of an old style Irish Dry "like your grandfather used to drink". I served this at room temperature.

Appearance: Thick black with a thin mocha head that lasts, careful as there is lots of lumpy sediment.
Aroma: Mainly coffee notes but there is a certain astringent green scent in it that I can't place, possible associated with the hops they use.
Flavour: Initially a coffee flavour but one of the harsh acidic coffee bean, after that there is not much more in flavour. An unpleasant herbal medicine taste starts to develop slightly with drinking.
Body: Quite average in body although a bit bitty.
Aftertaste: This coffee bean flavour gets amplified and there is a hint of grass.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, drinkable but not great.
Price Range: £1.89 for a 330ml bottle, well in this case you get what you pay for; it's drinkable and has a very affordable price.
Food Pairings: Something with a load of paprika in, like a rogan josh. This beer would actually be quite good as a cooking beer (except for deserts).
