Description
All Northern Alchemy beers are entirely natural products. Unfined (no ‘finings’ made from fish swim bladders and therefore suitable for vegans) & unfiltered. This means all of the flavours deliberately chosen for the beers are exactly what the customer should taste. Most of our beers will have a natural haze to them because we don’t subject our beers to these extra processes, in our opinion it’s how beer should be.

Black beer, thin head. A very light vanilla aroma. Taste is not what I expected. I was expecting meringue-y lemon sweetness. This is some dry bitter lemon, vanilla, a hint of dark chocolate and earthy malt.
