Can be served either chilled or at 10-15 º C for full hit of flavour. Color: Black Hops: Pacific Gem Malt: Gladfield Lager, Dark Caramalt, Caramalt, Chocolate, Black, Roast Barley Yeast: House Ale Availability: Year round on tap and in 330ml bottles Tasting Notes: It may be called Pitch Black but when poured into a glass and held to the light this beer shows flashes of red in the darkness beneath its frothy, tan-coloured head. The aroma and palate are rich and inviting with suggestions of sweet caramel and milk chocolate combining to produce a ‘Milo-like’ effect. Smooth and creamy in the mouth, a late coffee-like charred roastiness and hint of hop dryness combine to cleanse the palate in preparation for another sip.
