Serving Suggestion:

We think you'll love this flavour packed beer no matter how its served, however we have found this one delivers it's "A game" when enjoyed at slightly lower than room temperature. At this temperature the cherry and chocolate flavours really come out, it also leaves the beer with a much smoother mouth feel and greater head retention.
