Back in the 16th and 17th centuries travellers took their lives in their own hands travelling in the Derbyshire Peak District as highwaymen ruled the pathways - the most famous of all robbers being Black Harry. The area that Black Harry operated in sits close to Thornbridge Hall and in safer times the area has become a place of recreation for walkers, horse riders and mountain biking. The Black Harry Trails project has just been completed to upgrade and improve these routes for users and in doing so increase recreation opportunities for the less able, elderly and those with young families. To commemorate this work being completed Thornbridge have brewed Black Harry a dark, fruity ale.

Tap at the brewery. Plummy, dark fruit, easy drinking. Smells very vinous. Fruit dominates. Nice.

Cask pour at Brew Room. Almost black pour with silky beige head. Sweet aroma, kind of tart and sweet. Taste is more sweet was, roast grain bitterness. Right in the wheelhouse for the style.

Cask. Pours a very dark brown with little head. Aromas of light roasted malts. Flavors of watery roasted malts, a little chalk, and a little licorice and dark fruit. Definitely a dark ale for pounding.

Tap at Tapped, Leeds. Pours almost black with a small creamy toward beige head. Aroma of light chocolate, dark fruit, vanilla and very mild coffee. Medium sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness. Medium body, slight watery texture, soft carbonation. Finish is quite dry, and fruity. Liked this.
