This comforting dark ale is rich in flavour boasting chocolate notes with a slight nutty finish. Black is finished off with a balanced bitterness and creamy head. Moreish and real smooth.
Don’t just take our word for how good it is though – Black won a gold medal at the 2015 International Brewing Awards making it officially one of the best dark ales in the world. Black is also vegan friendly.

Served from keg at Crown & Anchor, shared with Finn. Nitro, off-white head to a clear rosewood coloured body. Smell of roasted malts, semi-sweet. Roasted flavour containing hints of dark caramel, dark fruits and leafy bitterness towards the ending. Clean, fresh and a bit watered in the mouth (Manchester, 21.01.2013).

On a permanent pump at The Ape and Apple in Manchester city centre. This is a very black mild with a diminishing creamy head. Fairly smooth and crisp but not big in flavour.
