A Masterful Blend of Roasted Malts
The brewers utilise a selection of premium dark malts to provide the beer’s signature deep ruby hue and velvety texture. Consequently, this creates a profile rich with notes of dried fruits, plums, and subtle treacle. Additionally, the balanced hop addition ensures that the sweetness remains perfectly contained. This meticulous recipe delivers a characterful, stronger ale that is ideal for sipping on a cool evening by the estuary.
