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.

My first drink at National Winter Ales festival 2013. Half, hand pulled cask. Bright golden brown body. Bubbly ring to the rim of the glass. Smell of earthy malts joined by mild fruity notes. Taste of caramel malts with a fruity support. Oil-like bitter ending. Clean in the mouth. Thin to medium bodied. Decent Brit bitter (Manchester, 23.01.2013).

500ml Brown bottle, best before Jan 2012: poured into my Abbot Ale glass tankard in April 2012, some three months out of date. Good looking beer: amber and clear, with a full, rocky head of white bubbles. The nose is malty molasses with slight piney notes from the hops. The taste is a crisp blend of semi-sweet maltiness and hop bitterness. Malts rule the initial flavours with the hops arriving later in the mouthfeel as the mouth begins to dry. Easy to drink and although out of date I really enjoyed it.

Noticeably dry texture, but good healthy tasting bitter with complex fruity aroma.
