Barrel Thunder
Tasting Notes
Ghost-chilled cellars, where barrel thunder reverberates. An ominous combination of roasted malts collide with deep, hop character. Effervescent blackcurrant and grapefruit step forward from a bitter, dark chocolate backdrop. However, appearances can be deceiving – can something looking so intensely menacing taste so tempting?
