A robust and complex stout with the addition of hedgerow elderberries collected from around the brewery. The result is a morish warming beer reminiscent of burnt toast, jam and dark chocolate spread. Cask matured since October 2015.

500ml Bottle - Black in colour. Elderberries, chocolate and coffee in the aroma. Smooth taste with elderberries, blackcurrant, coffee and plain chocolate. The elderberries are very noticeable yet not overwhelming and they blend quite well.
