We decided to get a little experimental with this batch of stout. Conjuring memories of some of our favourite smoked beers, we had a desire to create our own. To add an extra splash of umami to this beer, we chose to use Shiitake mushrooms as our smoked vessel. Smoked on-site and then added to a tank for the beer to circulate through, imparting a delightful touch of smoke. The result is a subtle peatiness that adds a whole new depth of flavour to this stout. Caramelised molasses and soy sauce work together beautifully for a unique drinking experience.

Pours jet black with a fluffy dirty tan head. Loads of smoke, hint of mushroom, chocolate, coffee. Really solid smoke beer. Well balanced and really enjoyable.
