Perhaps our most complex beer. It is big and malty with a very long finish, bitter forward with malt lift toward the end. Lightly carbonated and heavy in body. The small amount of roast barley in the mash contributes complex flavours like burnt toast, strawberry jam, coffee, chocolate, and leather. Deep garnet/ruby in colour, it is presented bright.

Complements short ribs and strongly flavoured foods such as cheesy or spicy dishes. Try it with a chocolate dessert like a soufflé or cheesecake. Suggested cheeses – Aged Gouda, Chesire, Munster, Port Salut, Morbier.
