A sumptuous sweet stout brewed using Hallertau hops with the added extravagance of bog myrtle. Bog Myrtle is a delightfully aromatic shrub which grows in abundance on the hillsides of Wales.

Cola black-brown with purple-tinged beige head that is smooth with a couple of big bubbles, like pizza crust, but fades to film fast.
Baker’s chocolate, ash, dried blackberries, and… Play-Doh?
Cocoa powder, oily coffee bean, roasty bite but something herbal underneath and a rooty, earthy, herbal end – like a greener sarsaparilla.
Leafy finish with a bit of must and lean, slightly mineral linger.
Medium to light, slight chew, a bit of oil.
Brewed with Welsh bog myrtle.
Among the rare traditional ingredient beers where it actually makes a difference. Intriguing chlorophyll tang; and stimulating instead of intoxicating, say some. Hallertau is lost, and an average stout underneath, but worth it for a new taste.
