Introducing Sombremesa's newest brew Farmers Dark Ale

For the darkest hearted (and also for the warmest) Farmers Dark Ale | Oatmeal Stout 4.5% ABV

Adrian & his Sobremesa team have a special for the autumn and winter, an oatmeal stout.

They used "Maris Otter from @warminster_maltings, added 5 different crystal and roasted malts from @simpsonsmalt. We also included organic oats from @pimhillfarm to create this opaque, rich, silky, and smooth dark ale. Hopped with Boadicea from @charlesfaram and fermented with a dry British Ale strain"

We recommend this around a campfire, and matched with some toasted marshmallows.
