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!

Cask at GBBF 2009. Black, lasting tan head. Slightly artificial choc/orange flavour, just on the right side of being acceptable. Decent grainy orange finish though.

Black with a lasting tan head. Strong orange peel and chocolate aroma. Sweet chocolate flavour with lots of orange peel. Iโm not a fan of orange chocolates, so there...

(Cask at GBBF, London Earlโs Court, 6 Aug 2009) Dark brown colour, almost black. Frothy, pale brown head. Malty, fruity and roasted nose with notes of dark fruit, liquorice and chocolate. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, liquorice, vanilla, a touch of soy sauce and orange. Medium body, rather sweet. Nice and tasty with an interesting orange twist.
