We've always liked a desert-style dark beers but wanted to make a sweeter beer but with a sense of balance so that you could drink more than one of them, if you wanted.

After some extensive testing we hit on this one, full of lovely organic vanilla creating a smooth creamy and chocolatey beer but with enough dryness in the finish so you can enjoy the next sip and the next sip and the next...

Cask at The Albion, Conwy. Darkest opaque cola brown. Creamy beige head. Aroma ia full of chocolate and vanilla. Nice. Flavourwise its more restrained. Mocha and vanilla but less intense. A sour berry edge. Slightly watery. Medium bodied. Creamy. Soft-flat carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice.

Oldham Beer Festival 2025, beer number 9 of the afternoon. Black with plenty of vanilla in both aroma and taste, although this doesn't stop its smooth texture feeling a tad thin.
