Fresh out of barrel the beer is full of chocolate notes, which Helter Skelter turns into a full-on chocolate orange experience. Hand-peeled orange zest is swirling in vibrant oily flavour which goes on a ride with the sweet chocolate base beer. In order to keep this in check, additional oak will give you subtle vanilla wafer notes but also enough drying finish to keep you going back to the start. This is a playful beer that we hope will put a smile on your face.

Taste comprises more prominent orange rinds, dark chocolate, mellow roast, spice, toffee, trace of coffee, bitter sweet edge. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close laced with bourbon and a kiss of alcohol. Decent complex BA impy stout.
