The North is coming…

This Atg collaboration with Northern Monk Brewing Co. in Leeds, England is intended to be British tradition meets AtG oddity.  We took a traditional Extra Special Bitter, darkened it up a bit, added a dose of smoke, and threw in some Amerian hops.  The result is a pleasant malty beer with significant complexity.  Up front you will get the malty sweetness and caramel character of a traditional ESB along with just enough piney American hops to round it out.  The extra dark malts add a roast note that holds up the bacon-y smoke.  Fear no evil when you walk with Giordano Bruno.
