Malts: Pale, Light Crystal, Wheat, Melanoidin & CaraRed
Hops: Bramling Cross
A sublime modern take on a traditional Scottish style, our malt forward Heavy is definitely not your Dad’s 80/-, with the addition of the Bramling Cross hop giving it a slight bite to the finish of this rich and balanced beer.
Best Enjoyed: On cask alongside a tasty game pie or cured meat and cheese board.

Dark amber beer, thick creamy head. Looks perfect. Smells of bitter hop and a touch of citrus. Creamy mouthfeel. Taste is light, sweet citrus, easy-going malt and a hint of bitter hop. Sweet, fruity aftertaste without being sickly.

On cask at the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - dark brown with orange chinks. Nice off white head. Nose - hazelnuts and sweet malt. Something fruity too. Maybe oranges. Taste - nuts confirmed and definitely oranges. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - more of a fruity brown ale than a heavy I’d say. Good though.
