Devil’s Backbone is full bodied and full flavoured like a mellow autumnal day with a hint of chocolate thrown in.

Amber with a tan head. Toasted malts, hoppy citrus, fruity, light chocolate, and just a hint of roasted malt in the back. Medium bodied. Finish has a bright fruit note over the rich roasted malt and chocolate sweetness. Very solid.

Caramelised malt, bitter hops, and some dried fruit aroma. Taste is malty, toffee, kind of cocoa aroma, and nice bitterness.
