From the Simpkiss brewery which closed in 1985. This is a beer made for Dudley Council. Original gravity is around 1050, giving a possible strength of 5%. It is a very dark beer. Taste is dark, twiggy, quite dry and very satisfying. There is a well integrated bitterness, suggesting a decent level of hop when made. Some hints of licorice in the finish from the darker malts used. This is a full flavoured beer. Robust, deep and serious.
