Yet again it’s time for something different so we’ve brewed one of the rarer styles of beer, a Jamaican Stout.
These are big bruisers laced with lovely Muscovado sugar which imparts a rummy backtaste to the brew. Plenty of roast and chocolate malt provide flavour and it’s hopped with the (only good?) English hop, Bramling Cross, for flavour and aroma with a helping hand in the bittering from Herkules.
Filling the copper to it’s absolute capacity (and yes, it frothed over as usual) we managed to boil up 240 gallons of luscious dark and strong stout which came in, thanks to the beautifully sticky and molasses-laden sugar (we can now see why it’s often called "runny" sugar!), at 1056 OG, giving the joint strongest "big kit" beer we’ve done thus far!
Why “Queen Anne’s Revenge”? Well, she was the flagship of Caribbean pirate Blackbeard…
All together now... aaaaaaaarh!!!

Cask at London Drinker fest 2012. A dark brown/black coloured pour with a medium beige head on top. Roasty, malty aroma. This was served in perfect condition. Rich tasting, roasty, malty, hoppy, chocolate, some coffee. Best one I’ve had from Steel City.

Cask at the Euston Tap, London. Pours dark brown with a creamy, tan head. Nice roasted malt nose, some dark earth and grass. Very true. medium sweet flavor with dry roast, baking cocoa, bitter earth. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Great condition. Roasty finish with creamy chocolate, light coffee, dirt, dry earth. Very nice intensity. Rich but not at all overbearing. Extremely solid, well-rounded beer.
