Darker Daze is our finely crafted collaboration stout celebrating the wonderful seasons of Autumn & WInter. Expect treacle and chocolate up front followed by a big, dry, roasted finish. All this flavour is held together by a gloriously thick velvety body. If drinking young, expect a hint of citrus from a healthy addition of Centennial hops late in the brewing process.

Bottle split at the Tilt Tasting, Bingohame Convention VI, thanks to LKS 02/07/22. Black with a decent tan cap that dissipates to a swirl and edgeing. Nose is dark malts, spice, dried fruit rinds, dates, cocoa powder. Taste comprises dark malts, chocolate, mellow roast, light smoke, toffee, spice, fruit cake. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of alcohol. I thought this one had stood up well.

Pigs Ear Fest. Bottleshare. Opaque dark brown beer, good tan head. Palate is airy and dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy dark malts with a burned toffee streak. Little dark fruits. Dry finish. Liked this more than the Cognac BA.

Bottle at Pigs Ear 2016 - London. Cheers, Ken. Pours deep black-brown with a dense, creamy beige head. Loads of ashy roast in the nose, tangy dried berries, nips of cocoa. Light to medium sweet flavour with further ashy roast, lots of bitter dark chocolate, scorched earth, faint minerality. Medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Bitter dark chocolate in the finish, more ashy roast, dried and leathery berries. Well rounded, assertive. Solid.

Bottle at Pigs Ear - cheers Ken. It pours black with a thick tan head. The aroma is earthy roast, toasty, manure, cocoa, woody action and unami and dirt. The taste is smooth, toasty, roasted malt, quite rich, charred wood, powdered chocolate, mind alcohol, spice, slightly burnt, mild astringency and coffee grounds with a drying finish. Full body and moderate carbonation. Quite all-right.
