Black as a hard day's night, this barley wine is packed with American, German, and Czech hops, as well as a myriad malt bill. This fab four bring immense complexity to a rich, full-bodied, bittersweet brew. Bitter caramel, dark chocolate dipped honeycomb, floral brandy notes, cinder toffee and pitchwood, remixed and perfectly tuned.

330ml can via Fanzine #16. Almost black pour with a tan head. Aroma of toffee, liquorice. Taste is sweet, toffee, caramel, liquorice, dark fruits, raisin, berries, chocolate, some bitter roast, big boozy finish. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Perhaps a little harsh especially with the boozy notes but I like the flavours.
