We couldn't do a series of beers named after past industries of the North East without paying tribute to coal mining, an industry that is ingrained in the fabric of the region to this day. The beer comes in the form of a black IPA at 4.3%. Brewed with Idaho 7®, Columbus, and Superdelic™ hops to bring aromas of citrus, cherry, and spice. Flavours are well-balanced with a nutty base, with notes of spice, pine, resin, and liquorice.
