A beautifully balanced dark beer with complex layers of taste that gives your taste buds hints of chocolate with some dark fruit notes coming through alongside the suggestion of caramel. All of that sweetness is then perfectly balanced by the hops that deliver citrus and spice. Don’t chill this one but try it with some rich chocolate cake or a fine stilton. If that doesn’t hit the spot then marinade some stewing beef overnight with it and pour it into a beef casserole, you won’t regret it.

500ml bottle: BBD Jan 2017. Poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home during a ’Random beer rating’ evening with myself on 17th June 2016. Very dark brown, almost black in fact: the head a light tanned affair. Nose has chocolate, liquorice and vanilla esters within it’s aromas. The taste also consists of those three flavours along with a mixed fruit bowl of red berries. Decent body depth and an interesting beer from start to finish.
