We started off by using a base of the famous Maris Otter pale malt and added oats, roast barley, chocolate, brown and crystal malts to give the beer the enticing black colour and flavours of roasted coffee, chocolate, hints of caramel and a slick smooth body from the oats and lactose. As for the hops; we’ve kept the bitterness low (around 30IBU) and used some Slovenia Bobek hops at the end of the boil to add some earthy and herbal notes that compliment the malt flavours. We then ferment it with our English ale yeast strain, which ferments cleanly at lower temperatures, allowing the malt, hops and natural hazelnut essence to come together in perfect harmony. With this beer we are really spoiling you!

Cask at Raven, Crewe. Pours almost black with a medium sized tan head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma at first, but a nutty aura does gradually make itself known. In the mouth is is quite seet and smooth with a creamy texture. Flavour has lactose, roasted malts, hazelnuts and cocoa. This is quite nice if a little sweet. Hides its strength very well too.

10/12/2022. Can shared with ITFCDan. From Beer Central, Sheffield. Pours very dark brown almost black with a small frothy off-white to beige head. Aroma of milk chocolate, nut, light roasted malt, dark fruits, coffee and berries. Medium sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness, touch of berry tart. Moderate body, slightly watery, bit above average carbonation. Pretty good, but a little too watery and fizzed.

Black with quick fading head. Loads of hazelnut, luckily the overall sweetness is just tempered enough to make it drinkable. A little roasted bitterness rounds it off well.

Hazy brown beer, decent head. Nutty, malty, a bit of chocolate and sugar and a decent body to it with a light nutty finish. Very drinkable.
