British Maris Otter malt is blended with German Pilsner malt to create a malty-sweet biscuit base with a satisfying mouthfeel, that is then combined with German Carafa III which adds very subtle notes of coffee and dark chocolate but more importantly gives this beer its distinctive colour.
American Simcoe and Citra hops create delicious flavours and aromas of mango, passionfruit and other tropical fruits. All topped off with a hint of a fresh Pembrokeshire sea breeze provided by Dulse seaweed, plucked off local beaches by the Pembrokeshire beach Food Company.
Trawlers’ Dread is named after a group of underwater rocks that sits about 5 nautical miles South West of Tenby, and well known for being treacherous for any local fishing vessels.

Bottle shared by Grumbo. Aroma is toast, butter, marmalade, roasted malts, caramel and fruity. Slightly carbonated and decent body. Started sweet and got more sour to finish.

27/6/2024. Bottle bought at Beer Park, Llanelli. Pours dark mahogany brown with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is roasted, nutty, caramel, cooking chocolate, fruity, toasted, hint of pine. Moderate sweetness, medium drying bitterness, light tartness. Moderate body, average carbonation. Sourish finish. Not as good as hoped.

Cask @ Tenby Tap + Kitchen, Tenby. Almost black - perhaps a bit of brown, with an off-white creamy head. Well-hopped so there's a dominant tropical fruitiness to a dark-malty base.

Dark amber/brown with a white/tan head. Aromas of herbs, malts, some cocoa, even a hint of salt. Taste adds some dark fruit. Very nice.
