What if Worthington White Shield was brewed with darker malt?
Inspired by the legendary Worthington White Shield, this Dark English IPA boasts rich, roasted malts with English hops in a dark, full-bodied ale.
Its classic hoppy bitterness meets subtle notes of treacle for a perfectly balanced, smooth dark IPA.
Black IPAs, sometimes known as Cascadian Dark Ales, have made somewhat of a resurgence in recent years. This controversial style (can an Indian Pale Ale really be dark?) is usually made with new-world hops. We’ve differed from this slightly, opting for traditional English hops.
In Dark Shield you will find all of the flavours of a traditional English IPA, with the only difference being the colour. Can’t wait to hear what you think!

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 26th January 2025. Deep sepia with minimal foam foam almost no lacing. Roasty malts aroma. Roasty in-mouth with spiced cherry fruits. Some nuttiness. A finish of ripe fruits and malty roastiness. Light to medium bodied with an engaging texture.
