A deep amber coloured strong ale with a huge malty palate. The use of seven different malt varieties provides an amazing depth of malt flavour with hints of chocolate and toffee. The hops used are principally Hallertau, giving a rich and spicy finish to this hugely flavoured ale.

A rare beer shared by STLwill. Malt and some citrus. Surprisingly, passion fruit, and some star fruit; which I can’t remember ever tasting in a beer. Light brown color.

Slightly hazy dark brown colour. The aroma is candyish and appley, with hints of bubblegum. Flavourwise, it’s quite funky, leathery and fruity. This I’m told is the onset of infection but at this point it’s probably improving the beer but lending vibrancy to the body and complexity to the palate, because the malts are still there in relative fullness.
