Taking cues from the brewers of the Baltics, we selected a lager yeast to ferment this dark beer. Keeping the fermentation cold makes the beer extra smooth and brings out the chocolatey malt flavours.

Gravity cask at the Blue Boar as part of their 2020 Night and Day Festival. Dark inidgo/black with a tiny ring of khaki/tan head. Blackberry, cooking chocolate and yeast extract notes are dominated by liquorice in the muted aroma. Sweet taste with an earthy bitterness at the finish, full of tar liquorice, charred wood, more blackberry and some prune. Thick, oily body with very little carbonation.
