Artisan brewer and whisky expert Mattias Sjöberg asked Opta to design the identity for his Oxfordshire based Compass Brewery; along with a series of bottle labels for the various beer styles he is planning to roll out this year. Here’s Baltic Night Stout. The tasting notes read:
Baltic Night is a stout, but not your average stout. Your first encounter will be its very black colour and whitish head: a promise of something tasty. Now gently position your nose at the centre of your glass, about one inch up, and let the floral notes of First Gold and Fuggle hops mixed with English barley tempt you. You can expect a well balanced roasted bitterness with hints of coffee, which gradually gives way to a long dry moreish cocoa finish. This is surely one night you will not forget. Ingredients: malted barley, wheat, hops and water. Brewed in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. Best served slightly chilled, 10–14 °c. Alc. 4.8%. 500ml.
Can’t wait to try it...
