Our flagship beer and rapidly gaining cult classic status. Our take on stout with its name reflecting its colour and strength. Super smooth, rich and creamy on the palate with a long dry finish. Dangerously easy to drink Malts – pale, crystal, chocolate, roast barley, wheat and torrified wheat. Hops – East Kent goldings
