For workers toiling sweat and blood

Our CAMRA Gold award-winning JW Lees Dark Ale creamy and smooth with roasted undertones. Mahogany in colour, Dark is perfect for people who appreciate a well-crafted beer with a rich and satisfying depth, a touch of sweetness, and luxurious soft chocolate notes.

THE STORY OF DARK...

Dark beers used to be the workers’ drink of choice after a day’s toil, thanks to their low carbonation, alcohol content and bitterness they are thirst-quenching gulpabel. Times have changed, but our CAMRA gold-winning Dark hasn’t. Cask-ale fanatics love it for its smooth, well-rounded character, sweet undertones and full malty aftertaste. Modern-day workers still reach for it after a hard day’s graft.
