This particular brewery is going for a high class approach with it's winery style naming, and over-descriptive explanations of it's 'secret' brewing process.
For all we know it could be 2 blokes in a shed.
Nevertheless, it still achieved it's intention by getting me decidely excited to give it a try. I do like a good dark ale, and haven't had one for a little while. Given the blandness of the previous Lager, we can only go up from here.
Undoubtedly a chocolate/malt driven ale but just when you think you have it all figured out, there's a bitter twist that arrives and then lingers on the pallette afterwards. While a bit different and unexpected, it's not a bad move and is a pretty enjoyable beer.
The flavours are balanced, but a touch reserved compared to some other ambers. Solid beer, not a favourite, but a worthwhile endeavour... from Endeavour.
7/10
