The Dark Druid would cut the mistletoe that grew on the oak tree and give it as a blessing. Oaks were seen as sacred, and the winter fruit of the mistletoe was a symbol of life in the dark winter months.
This is our fifth of The Dark Druid series, a sweet and rich pastry stout, brewed with Dark Cherries, rich cream and chocolate, to recreate the classic German dessert, the Black Forest Gateau.
