Kett’s Oak is a famous land mark at Hethersett and in 1549, John Kett started what was to be a cultural revolution of the poor against the rich. It is a fascinating tale which unfortunately ended in the death of the ring leaders at Norwich Castle and Kett’s Oak. The beer is in the style of an American Barley wine, dry, fruity and fairly strong at 6.0% ABV

Bottle from Beautiful Beers. Appearance - bright red, almost raspberry with an attractive off-white head. Nose - raisins, or burnt sultanas. Dried orange and dusty library. Taste - dusty with more burnt dried fruit. Palate - medium bodied, roasty and dry finish. Good persistence. Overall - has all the constituent parts of a good strong ale, but not as well melded as preferred. Good though.

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours a lovely deep mahogany with a thick off-white head. Aromas of red fruit, toffee, spice. Taste has the promised raisins, woody dryness, some burnt notes. Dry finish. Interesting.

6/6/2020. Sample courtesy of the SHIG, cheers! Pours deep amber with a bubbly off-white head. Aroma of dried fruits - raisin, date, sultana, mango and apricot - caramel, touch of golden syrup and a little rubber and yeast. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Quite liked this.

Creamy tan head left a decent cover on an unclear dark amber coloured still body. Woody, sweet citrus & malt aroma. Medium bodied, smooth on the tongue with a sharper clean back. Woody, slightly vinous, raisin, malt & bitter tangy citrus tastes with a long pithy finish. Unusual but tasty.
