Dasher the reindeer was born in the North Pole back in the mid-70's. He got the name "Dasher" because he always wanted to race the other reindeer. Unfortunately he lost all of the races, which made him unpopular with the does. After turning to deer steroids he started to win races - attracting lots of does and becoming a pimpin' buck. Eventually, the deer steroids caused issues with his horns, and he fell out of favour with the does. This beer is our liquid interpretation of the period in his life when he was a rockin' studly buck.

Bottle. Deep brown, some chunks, a beige head settles to a coat. Not the prettiest. Aroma of chocolate, prunes, mace, treacle. Full-bodied, smooth, carbonation could be a tad higher. Sweet with singed sugars, prunes, brandy. Very rich, but the sweetness doesn’t hang around - spices (cloves, mace) pumpkin seeds and citrus rind lift things away and bitterness creeps up. An attempt at a Pannepotish beer? Good stuff, may improve.
