Created for a non real-ale drinking landlady we tweaked our Stout, adding yet more chocolate malt and Curacao orange peel to the boil. We add lots of vanilla pods during fermentation and yet more orange is added into each cask, followed by a long slow maturation. A traditional with a twist!

Leeds Beer Festival. Black with an off-white head. Both chocolate and orange is evident, although the ale has a thin texture. Reminiscent of the Terry’s Chocolate Orange confectionary.

Cask at GBBF 2013. It pours near black with a small beige head. The nose is earthy, light roast, chocolate, oily orange and caramel. The taste is smooth, mellow, caramel, cocoa, touch of artificial orange, vanilla and wood with a light bitterness in the finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Smooth and easy drinking, but let down by the artificial notes. OK.

GBBF. Cask. Light soft palate, very slightly dry. Soft chocolate - not dark and not sweet. Strong orange flavour, blends in pretty well. A bit of a Cadburys Chocolate Orange without the sweetness. Crisp finish.
