Brewed with our friends and titans of lager brewing, Braybrooke Beer Co, to celebrate the Love & Beer festival 2024. This is our take on a Franconian Dunkel, brewed with dark malts and a touch of smoked malt, double decocted, fermented cold (of course), and hopped with East Kent Goldings. Pours a deep mahogany, bread crust, toffee and tobacco on the nose. Rich body with biscuit and toast leading to a pleasantly crisp and bitter finish. A tribute to the lagers of yesteryear.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Elusive online. Pours clear copper with a creamy, light tan head. Light to medium sweet flavour with a lovely bready malt character, gorgeous smokey notes, caramel, toasted ham. Light bodied with average carbonation. Great balance to finish, further candied ham, toasted malts, soft bitterness. Outstanding.
