The first in the Freaky Franchise series, released to celebrate Brew Yorks 5th birthday. Its a Coffee, Blueberry, Cacao, Walnut and Vanilla imperial breakfast stout. Brewed in collab with Amundsen.

The 3rd in the series of Brew Yorks state of mind series. This one is a testiment to the Terrys Chocolate Orange, which was invented in York. Its matured in Masala Wine casks, and is superb. It literally tastes of Chocolate Orange.

Would I buy again? If there was nothing else dark.
