Brewed by Dark Star
A vigorous fermentation is followed by a long maturation - the beer is brewed in February amd then released upon an unsuspecting public in December. A densely rich beer with a dark brown head. It has toffee and berry-like aromas and a velvet-like mouth-feel with complex burnt flavours and a strong alcohol glow to it. Warming with a long lasting wine-like finish, this beer command respect and deserves to be slowly savoured. Also available in bottles throughout the year.
The Champion Beer of Britain is one of the most prestigious beer competitions in the world. It is the ultimate honour for UK brewers and has helped put many into the national spotlight.
Judging for the competition takes around a year, starting with individual nominations from CAMRA members and tasting panel nominations, leading to a series of rigorous regional heats adhering to a strict blind tasting policy.
