Common descriptors are
Signal De Botrange is the highest mountain in Belgium, souring a massive 694m into the sky. It is almost as high as our neighbouring giant knockmealdown, but not quite. Belgium and Ireland are know for punching above their weight when it comes to beer, so it is fitting that they should come together for this Irish export stout brewed with a Belgian ale yeast. Inky black with a beautiful tan head, Signal has a deep toffee and dark chocolate flavours. What lifts it from the marvelous to the sublime are the peppery notes from the yeast. Think spicy chocolate stout - and raise your glass to the mountains.
