Smoky Tea + Bruléed Sugar
A beautiful black stout with an enormous amount of smoked malt to produce a delicious flavour reminiscent of Lapsang Souchong tea. A staggeringly smooth and smokey sweetness radiates through the beer, evocative of being warmed around the campfire on an autumnal evening. The malt is smoked over open beech log fires giving a distinctive yet mellow smokey character. We love to drink this beer whilst eating slow-cooked pork or barbecue dishes, where the smokey flavours play alongside each other and the body of the beer matches nicely to the rich meat. Or, for something more unusual, try it alongside a creme brulee where it will be a winning partner to the burnt sugar.

Bottle courtesy of nate2g, which leaked in my suitcaseon the way from New Zealand to DC, and consumed within 24 hours. Very dark brown color, massive tan head. Very nice aroma of burnt and smouldering charcoal and cocoa. Taste is bitter, unsweetened cocoa powder, and espressso pot left on the burner too long. Not bad.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; pitch black pour with foamy tan head, slightly smokey aroma, sweet malt taste with mellow smokiness, burnt sugar brûlée. Very good glad it’s a 750ml.

Keg at Craft Beer Co Islington. It pours near black with a small beige head. The nose is mellow smoke, light roast, meaty and bacon frazzles. The taste is roasted malt, ash, meaty, scortched earth, liquorice, treacle and dark fruit with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice.
