Brewed in collaboration with our good friends at Leigh on Sea Brewery this is our take on an Extra Special Bitter. A combination of crystal malts give big toffee & stone fruit flavours whilst a hit of late Bramling Cross hops packs it out with notes of blackberry & spice.

1/3 pint, gravicask, shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. Clear ruby-brown in the glass, beige head, dotted spots on the glass. Light caramel malty aromas, mid-dry. Blended taste profile of caramel malts, dusty hops, and beery-fruits. Bittersweet finish. Pretty decent. (Burton Upon Trent, 16.02.2023).

Delt med Rune på GBBF Winter festival i Burton-Upon-Trent. Mørk gylden. Klar. Lavt luftig skum. Bæraroma. Smaken søt. Tørket frukt. Lett bitter avslutning. Tørr.
