Pale and Dark Crystal Maris Otter malts unite to embrace a motherland of chewy toffee while fruits and berry flavours rush in. Styrian Goldings from the East and Nugget Hops from the West are allied in perfect harmony as pine and citrus hop flavours caress the taste buds. As a permanent beer Stone Faced is available throughout the year.

[May 2022] Amber pour with a small frothy white head and a sweet fruity aroma, also a bit dusty. Toffee sweet flavour and a hint of bitterness in the finish, a little disappointing truth be told

Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a copper red with a tight white head and good lacing. A malt nose is echoed in the mouth, where the taste is predominantly malted milk biscuits. Also some toffee and hints of spices. A bit watery but that is a good thing. Finish is bitter and hoppy. A nice solid traditional bitter.
