Commercial Description:
The complexity of this limited edition brew comes from the interplay between the roasted nutty undertones of Crystal, Chocolate and Black malts and the sweetness of orange blossom honey. Balance is achieved by the addition of Warrior and Tettnang hops. Ample body and smooth mouth feel enhance drinkabilty. Don't get stung and miss this one! 6.25% alcohol by volume.

Bottled. Transparently black, rich but fairly brief head. Grainy nose. Medium sweet with lots of flavour from roasty malt - coffee predominatly, and some honey on top of that. Medium bodied with clean mouthfeel. Light salty bitterness. A well balanced, quite drinkable porter.
