Projecting an unmistakable air of invincibility; Sprightly, cunning and formidable in combat. Oppose this heavyweight at your peril!
With a complex malt bill delivering light caramel, candied orange, and a lasting, balanced bitterness; Shadow Boxing is very much in your corner..

Cask gravity at LHG Brewpub Bristol. Clear dark brown colour lasting beige head. Malty. Some American hops. Yes a bit more like an American brown . Spicy finish so some rye malt maybe. Its decent. Interesting. But still an, American brown. Distinctive flavours.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 3rd April 2025. Dark reddish sepia brown with pale tan foam affording full but lumpy lacing. Rich roasty malt aroma. Richly malty in-mouth with cake fruits, spices and bitter chocolate. A bitter finish with grassy notes and dark chocolate. A smooth yet engaging mouthfeel and a full body. Superb. I had another!
