An intense and dark strong stout with robust malt flavours bring notes of roasted coffee and dark chocolate. Conditioned on blackberries and organic cacao nibs to bring forth dark fruit flavours with a subtle chocolate aftertaste.

Cask (gravity) at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a cloudy very dark reddish-brown with minimal beige head. The aroma is mainly roasted malts with hints of chocolate. In the mouth it fluctuates between sweet and bitter with alcoholic strength very evident. Flavour is initially blackberries, roasted malts and chocolate, but spices and chilli come through later to mask the toher flavours. Finish is boozy and slightly fruity. This is very moreish !
