Sea Salt & Chilli Stout
The Sea Salt & Chilli Stout is a big, smooth, balanced stout brewed with sea salt, Scotch Bonnet chillies and cacao nibs, and hopped with Bramling Cross and Summit. It is full bodied and lightly saline; the chillies bring a fresh fruitiness first and then a gentle warmth. The cacao nibs are used in a small amount to smooth the body rather than to add chocolate character. The brewery has made it since 2016, at 7.4 %.
