This unique dark beer combines roasted malt flavours with a hint of caramel, complemented by fruity and herbal hops. It also reveals notes of black tea in the aroma. The aftertaste is slightly herbal and bitter.

330ml can via Beer52. Poured into my Gordon thistle shaped glass at home on 12th June 2026 after a mates funeral. Black, like my mood, deep and lasting beige head. Malty front with a tea like undertone, interesting brew all round really.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A deep tawny brown pour, almost black, with a loose beige head; aroma of roasted nuts and caramel; a smooth malty caramel taste, not too sweet with a touch of spice; then a dry finish with the black tea coming through. Elegant.

330ml can. Pours near black with frothy beige to tanned head, excellent retention and lacing. Aroma has a sweet mellow herbal and tea with some caramel dark malts. Taste has an undercurrent of tea and lemon with a herbal bitterness running through with caramel and biscuit, occasional note of blackberry. A subtle complexity assuming that's not an oxymoron. Near medium bodied, a good soft carbonation which works well here, session quality. Excellent balance. A welcome surprise.
