Refusing to name a beer "I Love Aileen" after many requests by my girlfriend, this beer is instead titled after her favorite show's protagonist and is as close as she is going to get! Also my first choice Back is Black was already taken. It is a big hoppy black bitter beer to get us through the rest of winter. It showcases Australia's Stella hops that wowed me after having a single hop version in Beechworth Victoria on holiday this summer.

(On tap) Black, thin tan head. Smokey aroma. Medium body with light but soft and mouthfilling carbonation. Taste starts with dark toffee and smokey burnet notes develop. There’s a nice long fairly restrained bitter and smokey finish, Very drinkable for this unusual style.

Draft at the Malthouse. Black color, small tan head. Aroma of cocoa and pine. Taste is bitter burnt espresso and more pine. Nice.
