Dark & Wild is many things; it’s our annual ode to the best in dark and sour beers, an opportunity to host some of the best breweries on the planet at our home in Leeds, and it’s a great excuse to make something strong, dark and delicious.
This year’s festival release is an uber rich, ultra thick and downright indulgent Tiramisu Stout. With coffee from our friends at Chipp Coffee Co., cocoa from York Cocoa House and a complex malt bill courtesy of festival sponsors Bairds, it’s got all the depth and decadence needed to evoke the cult-classic dessert.
As always, we’ve called in some heavyweights to help us pull it off. Finland’s Factory Brewing, Evil Twin from NYC and long-time friends Beak.

440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 8.4%. Pitch black colour, with a moderate creamy brown head, that does not last very long. Aroma of tiramisu dessert - they ain't lyin'. Espresso coffee and cocoa / chocolate dominates, also notes of vanilla and coconut. The flavour has the same elements, but is fortunately not too sweet. A certain prune-like fruitiness helps the drinkability. Low bitterness.
