Collaboration avec Craig Allan, l’Obscura est un assemblage de scotch ale vieillie pour une partie en fût de cognac et pour l’autre, en fût d’olorosso.
Vineuse, acidulée, ronde, c’est une bière que nous sommes très fiers d’avoir travaillé avec Craig, dont nous respectons énormément le savoir brassicole.

Bottle from Hopt. Aroma is oak, cherries, dark bready malt, caramel, tart red grapes, vinous notes, cognac, dried dark fruits, raisins, toffee, with a hint of bretty funk. Flavour is fairly tart with a definite rich sweet touch, light bitterness and sourness. Body is above medium. What a surprise, this slightly funky and vinous cognac cherry wee heavy. Lovely!
