A black IPA brewed to the same recipe as I'm Spartacus, with the same fruity Simcoe hit but a completely different appearance! Collaboration with Wigan Central. Vegan friendly.

Bottle. Barrel and Anvil. Wow. A Torrside bottle in good nick. Fantastic nick tbf. Sits almost black. Swede is comparable to a Kernel job. Easy 9. Nose has the requisite scorched grapefruit. Nicely bitter dark chocolate. As it warms there are notes of coffee grinds. Taste has some dark chocolate sweetness, but this is all about the bitterness. Earthy ashy and citrusy. Super smooth at the 6.8. Lingering grapefruit fruity bitterness to finish. Great CDA here.

Not a single rebel in the film refrains from saying "I'm Spartacus". This beer is not one to refrain from either, smooth, lovely palate-feel, dark-malt fruity with a hint of chocolate, incredibly easy for its strength, and looks good too with its thick creamy-frothy head on top of an extremely dark brown coloured ale. I'm definitely Spartacus in terms of this brew.
