Up on the roof of the Lymestone Brewery, the Lymestone bees have been busy making the sweetest honey from local fields and gardens. Literally stung into action, Brad the Brewer has created this rich, dark beer from the Lymestone bees honey and the finest chocolate malt. Velvety chocolate gives way to a balanced bittersweet finish. Easy drinking and very moreish.

Tall brown 500ml bottle Best Before End of June 2012: poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard on 2nd May 2012. Looked good: red/amber body, clear and clean, on top a biege foaming head of closely knit bubbles. Pleasant malty smell, no honey aroma though (honey is within the ingrediants). The taste also has malty front (hints of dark chocolate): a hop bitterness soon arrives though and this isn’t a sweet brew at all. Full bodied and filling: a fine beer.
