Black Sheep Brewery is launching a new seasonal cask beer, Astronomer (4.2% ABV), a chocolate porter that’s said to be perfect for autumn nights.

The beer combines tasty malts with notes of chocolate and coffee, creating a dark, smooth, and flavoursome brew. Pouring black in colour with an off-white head, it offers heaps of chocolate, roasted coffee, and fruit flavours on the palate, combined with subtle hints of vanilla.

Astronomer is the ninth addition to Black Sheep’s 2022 seasonal cask beer range — its biggest to date, featuring a number of new brews.

Jack Scott Paul, senior brand manager at Black Sheep Brewery, said: “As September marked the brewery’s official 30th anniversary, we wanted to continue just where we left off, creating more and more unique flavour blends for beer lovers to try. Whether it’s their first cask beer or one of many, we truly feel there is a pint for everyone.

“Astronomer, our brand new seasonal beer, is the perfect autumnal beer and is made especially for dark beer lovers and those who enjoy flavours of chocolate and coffee.

“We love dark beers here at Black Sheep, and our latest cask beer joins our other range of stouts, including Milk Stout and Choc & Orange Stout. It’s only available for a limited time so we’d encourage all publicans to give it a go on their bar as the nights begin to draw in.”
