Relentlessly smashing eardrums and shattering musical boundaries for generations, Metal Head is a dark stout brewed in honour of the brooding guitar riffs and thundering bass of metal.
It’s smooth yet amplified taste comes from a mix of dark and daring malts played together for the perfect powerhouse. Crank the amps up to 11!
Blend of six malts giving flavours of vanilla, chocolate and blackcurrant.

Cask-conditioned at the Gryphon, Bristol 30/6/2016. Near black in colour, with a tight, off-white, head. Aroma of chocolate, blackcurrants and some toasted malts. Flavour was similar, leading to a dryish finish. Enjoyable.
