A strong black beer with rich, complex aromas and taste. Smooth on the palate with powerful roasted malt flavours. We use 4 different malt styles - pale, crystal, chocolate and malted wheat - each of which has a unique character. Local Fuggles hops added at various stages during the boil enhance the beer's depth.

Pours dark brown with a large and dense head. Aroma of roasted malt, toffee and dried plums. Smooth mouth feel. Taste is well roasted - almost smoked - malt. There's also notes of toffee and dried plums. Great beer!
