Pale ale brewed with squid ink
This beer is daft. We’ve added squid ink because we can. It’s a light refreshing beer with a hint of The Deep Darknes of the Ocean.
It’s light and refreshing with a crisp herbal aroma, fresh sea ozone, with hints of summer rock pools, seaweed and, if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of the waves crashing and even a faint backgrond of children building sand castles, sea gulls, fog horns et cetera.

Tap at the Birmingham Beer Bash 2014. Poured a murky dark brown with a greenish hue and a thin broken white head. The aroma is muddy canal water! The flavour is medium bitter with a seaweed earthy palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Pretty awful!

Keg @ Birmingham Beer Bash whilst discussing with the brewer Dave. Can’t say I’ve ever come across a squid-ink Kölsch before! Pours murky brown with off-white head. Squid ink definitely comes through, a peculiar taste but not undrinkable. Can’t say I detected any Kölsch characteristics. Would probably try again to get my head around it.

Keg at Birmingham Beer Bash; this beer has a crazy look to it, murky stagnant canal water with tinge of algae bubbly white head, dishwater aroma, taste has malts, some wood, maybe squid ink isn’t ideal adjunct, audacious idea, but not a beer for me.
