Chocolate Chipotle Stout.
Designed to challenge the senses as well as perceptions, this is an easy-drinking, strong flavoured and spiced stout. This beer has captured the imagination and the fans across the UK and in America, even gaining an honourable mention in the 2013 Brussels Beer Challenge.
Taking you on a journey to South America, via Yorkshire, drinking this 6.5% Chipotle Chocolate Stout is a journey in itself. Rich heady chocolate on the nose, it’s all about deep luscious stouty goodness throughout with a soft mouthfeel. Just as a coffee bitterness develops, and you’re thinking that the party’s over, a subtle dry heat arrives that not only leaves your mouth tingling, but also thirsty and gasping for another taste. The Mayans smoked their chillis, and rather than brew with smoked malt, which can add to the bitterness, we used freshly smoked dried chipotle chillis to add an extra layer of flavour.

We invited Melissa Cole to come and brew this Saison with us back in 2012. Fast forward and it has become one of our most successful beers.
We utilized the sour nature of rhubarb to balance the farmhouse earthiness of Saison yeast. Stewing the rhubarb with vanilla provides extra balance, so that this beer is tart in all the right places, and subtle throughout. Refreshing and with a little zing provided by ground Grains of Paradise and there is a long, satisfying bitter finish.

This Milk Stout is perfectly balanced and easy drinking. It packs in more flavour than it should be possible for such a low abv. First brewed back in 2012 using cranberries to balance the sweetness of the lactose. We have re-brewed to a new recipe utilising bitterness from coffee, which we feel not only balances this sweetness, but provides more depth of flavour.
The coffee used is Sumatra Jagong Village from Indonesia, and was supplied by our friends at Casa Espresso. Read Less
