This dark beer with a reddish tinge, derived from the use of coloured malts, perfectly balanced with specially formulated brewing sugars and English aromatic hops.
First introduced in 1990 as a winter warmer, Jennings Sneck Lifter has become a firm favourite in the portfolio.
In northern dialect sneck means door latch and a sneck lifter was a man’s last sixpence which enabled him to lift the latch of a pub door and buy himself a pint, hoping to meet friends there who might treat him to one or two more.

Cask at the Bridge, Kingswinford. Pours a clear dark brown with a medium tight head. Aroma is some mild coffee. Some roast to start and a smooth chocolate coffee finish. Very smooth and clean in the mouth.

Cask at The Wharf. A clear copper colored beer with a small off-white head. The aroma has a roasted coffee-like chocolate domination and some pleasant fruity hops. Dry in the mouth, full body. The flavor has roasted malts and dark chocolate, both hoppy and roasted bitterness. Some fruits. Bitter, roasted finish with some fruits. Quite pleasant and tasteful. 101020

Cask at the Crosse Key, JDW. Pours a dark auburn with a fading, mostly white head. Aroma holds quite a bit of roasted malts and caramel. Nice flavor, roasty with mild mocha, caramel and faint, earthy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to avertage carbonation. Nice hit of mocha and espresso in the finish, some toffee and ripe fruit, light, dry roast and just subtle, leaf and earth bitters. Not at all what I expected. Could do with a bit more sugar but I did enjoy this.

Medium brown with a nice head. Dark sugars, burnt orange, treacle and sticky toffee pudding...fun nose. Deep treacle/molasses character. Nice, subtle plummy-fruity depths, accented by a hint of alcohol. Complex, well-constructed beer. Very tasty.

Cask (gravity)@Lamplighter, St Helier, Jersey
Dark brown head, tiny white head. Wineous, a bit vinegardish, dark malty nose. Flavor has soya sauce, caramel, dark toffee and then light hops in the aftertaste. Cask past its prime?
