Billed as category breaking beer and delivered by hand from the Lake District tap room by bunker co host Paul, but the question is: What is a Premium Dark Ale?
The nose is light, hints of blackberry, a solid pinch of Cascade floralness, but a Black IPA this not.
What hits the tongue to start is a wave of dryness, that only builds in intensity as the malt unravels. A Black chocolate bitterness takes control before leading to the hops. The Bramling Cross give a fruity blackcurrent kick of bitterness at the end which leave a strong lasting impression on the beer.
7/10 A well hopped porter with some strong blackcurrent notes.
