Northern Rising
A silky-smooth nitro stout with chocolate and roasted malts, full-bodied at 4.4%, with hints of dark chocolate, subtle caramel and an easy, creamy finish. Billed as the cream of the north, it is a collaboration between two of West Yorkshire's finest breweries, and Golden Promise barley malt forms its base.
