Strong and dark winter ale with dark chocolate flavours balanced by hoppy bitterness. Based on Bragdy Nant's well known Mwnci Nel.

500ml bottle @ blackhaddocks gaff. Pours a dark ruby, large beige head. Chocolatey nose. Flavour profile is all about the dark chocolate and dark malts with some sappy hints. Pleasant bitterness. Good stuff.

500ml bottle (BB September 2024) shared with minutemat on 6th November 2023 during a mega tasting at my house (Panda for Grumbo too). Lovely ruby colour, beige head that lasted. Rich dark chocolate base with some bitterness from the hop content, really pleasant beer all round.

0,5l bottle bought in Spar, Llanrwst. BB 12/23. Dark brown color, small tan head. Smells toffee, earthy, hints of smoke, spices, bit leathery. Nice smell. Medium body, soft carbonation. Tastes earthy, leathery, peppery ashy, tobacco, some bittet chocolate, nutty. Finishes light to medium roasty bitter with notes of leather, tobacco and earthy notes. Nice one overall, rather on the bitter side with ashy and leathery notes, good stuff none the less.
