Whistle Belly Vengeance
A deep ruby ale built on dark malts. The aroma is rich and malty with hops alongside, and on the palate hops, dark malt and liquorice dominate. Smooth in texture, it carries a firm bitter side. Formerly a seasonal, it has been brewed all year round since 2017. At 4.7% it is served cask-conditioned; unlike most of the range it is not on the brewery's list of bottle-conditioned beers.
