THIS BEER IS
Brewed when our good friends from Stone visited in 2009. Black As Sin, Hoppy As Hell - no other beer name has quite hit the nail so squarely on the head. Dark roasted malt makes a beautiful canvas for the savage hop bitterness, pine needles and orange zest.

BREWER'S TIP
We also produced two separate barrelaged versions of this beer; Bashah 2009 Highland Park and Black Raspberry Reserve, and Bashah 2009 Imperial and Tayberry Reserve were two barrel aged versions of the beer. Try ageing this beer on oak or with fruit to make your own reserve.
