Black Magic
Black Magic was voted “Beer of the Festival” at the 2024 Shed Brewers Festival held at the Victoria Inn in Colchester.
Get ready to be spellbound by Black Magic, the beer that’s darker than a midnight incantation and tastier than a potion brewed by a tipsy wizard! With six malts and 5 hops, including a hefty dry hop of Sabro and Cashmere, it’s like a tropical holiday in a glass, complete with a hint of coconut and a decent amount of bitterness to keep you guessing. So, grab your wand—or just a glass—and prepare to be magically deliciously delighted.
