Forest Bänger
Imperial Stout

Taste
Smooth, rich berries mix with an explosion of smoke and spice - fennel, molasses, grape, pine resin and the hint of pipe tobacco.
Nose
Freshly chopped juniper wood and tarry, campfire smoke mingles with overripe rowan berries, freshly fallen from the tree branches. Hints of moss and light marzipan follow, with an assertive touch of steeped Lapsang Souchong black tea leaves.
