A collaboration between two of West Yorkshire’s finest breweries, resulting in a silky-smooth nitro stout. Chocolate and roasted malts, plus Timothy Taylor’s signature Golden Promise malted barley deliver a full-bodied stout with hints of dark chocolate, subtle caramel and an easy drinking creamy finish.
Craft brewed with Northern pride and swirling with smooth, dark, malty flavours.

Picked up a 4 pack at the Co-op in Ballater Scotland. It’s ok, but honestly would prefer a Guinness or Murphy’s.

440ml can.
L: Black with ruby edging and one finger of mocha head that recedes to a smear with no lacing.
S: Malty & toasty. Light cocoa and coffee very much in the background.
T: Follows the nose. A bit more coffee, maybe, but the primary flavour is toasted, slightly charred, malt. Bitterness is medium/low. Some sweetness emerges slowly.
F: Smooth and dry. Silken, rather than creamy, mouthfeel.
O: A pleasant, easy-drinking, smooth, dry Stout.
