This is a brand new brewery to me and, if this Farmers Dark Ale Oatmeal Stout is anything to go by, I'll be needing more. Lovely stuff. Brecon, apparently #BeerSky #BskyBeer #WelshBeer

Can of Sobremesa dark ale oatmeal stout poured into a tall pint glass. Glossy & dark with a good, thick off-white head. The artwork on the can is back & white geometric pattern, like a parquet floor, and just the brewery name: SOBREMESA
