The latest thoroughbred from The Hook Norton stable. Hooky Dark is a dark chestnut coloured ale. Crammed full of roast malt flavours, it is complimented with superb dry hop aromas derived from the choicest East Kent Goldings. Do not be left at the starting post with this beer.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2007. Chestnut, lasting beige head. Some dark toffee. Little bit thin and dull. OK it’s a mild. Some coffee, not a great aroma, but the mouth feel is ok. Too much caramel.

Drank regularly on cask throughout the county over the years. Dark with a creamy off white head. Whilst I have always found this to consistent and perfectly fine I have to say for me it’s just a bit too thin and lacking in flavour.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] A brown beer with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel. The aroma is roasted malty on a slightly sour background due to the low alcohol content - which also gives it a thin body. Nothing wrong - just boring.
