Oats are used in the grist of this beer to give body and smoothness, enhancing the roasted barley, giving it complex flavours reminiscent of dark chocolate and coffee.
This is balanced by a fresh hop bitterness and dry silky finish.

Cask. Pours an opaque dark brown with a vague orangey hue and hardly any head. Hard roasted malts in the nose with a whiff of tobacco. Medium body, a little hard roasted malt, a little licorice but dominated by tobacco, a little tar and smoke. Finishes dry with a subdued bitterness. 200110
