Beast is a full-bodied dark porter. It’s dark mahogany-brown in colour, with a hint of crimson. Rich aromas of toffee, treacle, Mocha coffee, vinous fruit, and chocolate. There’s more complexity on the palate with fruitcake, a hint of rum, more Mocha coffee, herbal hoppiness, vinous fruit, and a bittersweet finish that’s smooth yet complex, rich but not cloying.
Hops: Goldings, Challenger and First Gold. Brewed with a mix of pale ale, chocolate and crystal malts.

Dark red brown with a delicate head that lasts. Dark berries, chocolate, dried fruit, melanoid accents, herbal notes. Rich, fruity sour, with notes of Old English Ale and even Barley Wine. Mega chocolate finish, a bit of earthiness and yellow. Great!

Pours a dark brown colour with a reddish tint and a small khaki beige head. The aroma is roasted, roasted malts, bitter chocolate, and coffee. A moderately sweet roasted taste, roasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee, and dark fruit flavours with a sweetish, roasted finish.

Hand-pulled pint on 25th October 2024, The Robert Fitzharding (a Spoons in Bristol). Dark brew, ruby hue to the body, beige crown. Malty, boozy and heavy. On the sweet side with a 'fruit and nut chocolate bar' sort of taste.

Ruby brown with a creamy/frothy tan head. Lightly roasted malt on the nose, medium/full bodied, alcoholic strength noticeable right up front, there’s sweetness from chocolate and dark fruits alongside lightly roasted malt, some dry bitterness in the finish and just a hint of spice
