Far from a traditional wheat stout, made with a very high wheat content with Vanilla added at the end of the brew. As it is brewed with English hops there is a balance of subtle flavours meaning the beer is surprisingly drinkable.

Bradford Beer Festival 2018. Cloudy, very dark brown in colour. It has a dark malt sweetness with its vanilla light tasting in the grand scheme of things.

Cask at The Bow Bar. Pours dark brown, thin beige head. Aromas of chocolate and banana. Taste is more of the same, not getting much vanilla. Not bad.

Cask at the Post Office Vaults, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark mahogany with a bubbly broken off white head. The aroma is dry earthy light roasted malt. The flavour is moderate bitter with a smooth soft light malt, light sweet vanilla, dark chocolate, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask gravity at the Dudley Winter Beer festival. Pours near pitch black with no head. Aroma is wheat, some banana and faint roasted malt. Taste was wheat and faint banana to start. Roasted malt and wheat to finish. Could be a bit fuller.
