Signal de Botrange is the highest mountain in Belgium, souring a massive 694m into the sky. It is almost as high as our neighbouring giant the Knockmealdown, but not quite. Belgium and Ireland are known for punching above their weight when it comes to beer, so it is fitting that they should come together for this Irish Export Stout brewed with a Belgian ale yeast. Inky black with a beautiful tan head, Signal has deep toffee and dark chocolate flavours. What lifts it from the marvellous to the sublime are the peppery notes from the yeast. Think spicy chocolate stout – and raise your glass to the mountains.

Bottle from Callans, at mum and dads, 06/06/16. Pitch black with a well appointed khaki cap that dissipates to a prominent swirl. Nose is tar, dark chocolate, spice, tobacco, hazelnut, roast malt. Taste comprises bitter sweet dark chocolate, light herbal infuse, bitter roast, cacao nibs, molasses, charr, dark fruit shreds, candied fruit peel, light Belgo. Yeast notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with a bitter roasted bite and a lactic tinge. Solid enough stout if a little overly bitter.
