HOW IT TASTES
Dark stout with gentle crimson radiance. Stone fruits are balanced by blackcurrant and a hint of citrus. The finish is smooth and dry.
HERITAGE
Brewed during the Great War, the popularity of stout grew dramatically due to the alleged health benefits of drinking it. It is rumoured the marriage of powder blue and black in its original labels were chosen by Mrs D Lacon as a tribute to her husband who was lost during the conflict.
