Where this comes from
Read from the label art by Hop Grail. Fields checked against the approved label. How we get this data
A tall ship with billowed sails and rigging dominates the centre of the label, rendered in gold line-work against a black ground and emerging from the tentacles of a large kraken or sea creature whose suction cups anchor the composition in the lower half. The gold lettering runs vertically down the left edge in all-caps sans-serif, with product details and tasting notes in smaller type below. The entire label employs a two-colour palette of gold and black with high contrast, creating a heraldic maritime aesthetic.
From the label“Brewed in collaboration with local band Black Barrel and the Bad Men. Fermented and aged in Missouri Oak Foeders for 1 year. Finished on black berries. Naturally carbonated in the bottle.”
