DARK MUNRO


"a world class dark ale" - 4.0%

CHAMPION BEER OF SCOTLAND 2007

Appearance: Dark chocolate brown in the glass with a good white head, if held to a light very dark ruby red shines through.

Nose: Soft chocolate malt ‘coffee’ notes are evident with a mere hint of hop.

Taste: All depends on venting, when fresh the chocolate malt is crisp and may have a hint of phenols, when well vented or halfway through a cask, the chocolate is soft & velvety with a perfectly balanced hop and a hint of fruity fermentation esters. Becomes dryer and ever so slightly hoppier as becomes older.

Summary: A fantastic darker ale which has a changing drinking profile, which at all the stages of it’s development in cask should appeal to all who appreciate a quality pint of balanced dark real ale. Find out for yourself it's well worth a try.
