Based off of Skindred's fourth album, Union Black, this beer is full of soul and flavour. Allspice and vanilla give an unctuous sweetness which plays against the roasted notes of coffee and dark chocolate from the malt. Made vegan friendly so all members of the band could enjoy it, this Stout is still full bodied, rich and moreish.

Sample thanks to Grumbo: Poured a black with a frothy light brown head. Aroma is very spicy, licorice, maybe some fruits. Taste is similar with spicy, roasty, very aggressive on the palate.

8/5/2020. Can from CentrAle, Newcastle. Pours close to black with a small tan coloured head. Aroma of chocolate, allspice, carob and dark fruit. Medium plus sweetness and light roasted bitterness. Medium plus body, oily slick texture, soft carbonation. Nicely spiced. Very moreish.

44cl can bought @ Fira del Poblenou, BCN, Box Social booth. BB 15/05/2020. Noire, col fin beige/moka retombant assez vite. Arôme est malté, caramel, toffee, chocolaté avec un léger rétro épicé de cannelle et de girofle. Palais est malté cara-pâle, chocolat avec un effet d'épices qui perdure en bouche - bien que j'attendais un épicé sur le piment, ce piment de Jamaïque - allspice - rappelle plus une version de bière d 'automne / citrouille avec ce caractère cannelle plaisant.Vanille procure une petite douceur de fin et ponctué par un léger effet de chocolat amer. Le grillé persiste sur la fin.
