Cast Iron Billy is a luxuriously smooth and heady stout that harkens back to the smog-filled streets of a Victorian London consumed by the industrial revolution. Imperial in terms of its ABV, this 10.5% delight is a majestic drop of roasty and malty beer that packs aromas of coffee, dark berry flavours and delicate hints of vanilla. A real treat of a brew that should be savoured slowly and enjoyed to the fullest.

Aroma feels like a foreign stout. Some coffee, soy sauce and licorice. Flavour has licorice, soy sauce, alcohol and saltiness. Decent.
