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.

Dark and Wild describes my adopted cat at the time I found him in the street. Black, smooth in the palate, pretty crisp too. The tiramisu is dominant but at very palatable levels in both aroma and taste, also masking its strength, which makes this a full-bodied craft special. Excellent crafting here, sweet and rich at the same time.
