Take our 10HL pilot kit. It is the place our brewers let those imaginations fly and lay down unpredictable, creative tracks. Our brew team use it to dial in our small-scale experimental brews, each then finding its way to our bars as a draught-only special release.
However, we felt the naming convention used previously – Pilot Brew XXX – didn't fully reflected the ingenuity displayed by our brewers. To depict this a little better we now release each pilot brew as a bona fide B-Side; alongside our production-batch launches that take place at our bars, you’ll be able to discover a flip side in the form of one of our B-Side releases.

Draught@CBC2015. Pretty close to black colour with a small beigeish brown head. Aroma is sweet alcohol, some mild red wine like heaviness, mild toffee, ripe dry fruits and some slight honeylike notes as well. Flavour is very sweet and quite alcoholic with a quite big bitter floral kick to it. Burning alcohol in the finish.
