This spicy, rich and unique beer is bursting with chocolate and coffee malt flavours.
We’re famous for our pale and gold coloured beers at Oakham Ales, but we brew some great black beers as well and Hawse Buckler showcases just what our brewers can do in that area. Hawse Buckler (first brewed in 2006) was an excellent Black IPA a long time before the Black IPA category was even invented! Our brewers have been perfecting the recipe ever since.
Colour: Black

I spotted this in the Top 10 beers available in scotland today. When i saw the picture i thought "oh i have one of these at home" ... When i went to my Cupboard not only did i have it, but it was sitting in my Drink next section Thanks to Fin for this one i think... So with all the portents i had high hopes ... but to no avail ... Deep black with light thin head ... little coffee and huge amount of hops in nose... huge hop front that kills all the Roast malt character... little roast in background along with a lot of bitter hop... Almost drain pour.

Picked this up from Uto Beer Borough Market Stall, Lahndan Tahn 02-08-08 consumed 03-08-08 Pours black with tan head. Quite hoppy in the mouth with nice dark roasted malts. American hops? push through again, some dried fruit, coffee granules and drying towards the end, nice beer.

(6/29/08) Bottle sample at RBESG08 grand tasting in Plzen. Fruity (and maybe slightly weird) aroma of with some malt. Sweet flavor with malt, roasted notes, some yeast and fruits. Medium-bodied.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours an opaque dark brown with a small beige head. Citrusy hops in the nose - rather than hard roasted malts - which is a little surprising. Medium body with sweet roasted malts and a fairly malt bitter finish. Much more flavourful than what the body promises. 290608

RBESG08 grand tasting. Very dark brown/black. There wasn’t as much of this as I would have liked as a bottle smashed in the hold luggage on the plane. Frankly it’s awesome. The hops, the thick porter style, bit of soy sauce. Almost the best Oakham’s beer. That’s stunning.

Bottle, RBESG08 grand tasting Extremely dark, murky brown. Small tan head. Nice pungent hops (Goldings?) in the nose. Malty taste, roasty, with some hopiness again. Likable.

Bottled at RBESG. Near black, small head. Aroma of licorice and grass. Very dry with chocolate and lots of salty licorice. Burnt roasty malt flavours in combination with poerful citric hops. Heavilyu salty finish. I love the combination of citrus and licorice!
