We brewed Chaos Engine in both 2010 and 2011 and to be honest, it’s a bit of a mystery as to why we haven’t brewed this rather splendid beer more often.

An omission to be corrected in August 2023 when the beer features in our “Oakham 30 Years” celebrations.

A deep gold coloured ale with delicate blackcurrant and rich fruit aromas, steaming along to a moreish, dry, bitter finish.

Hand-pulled pint at the Wrekin Inn, Wellington Shropshire on 24th September 2023. Amber pour, white crown. Fruity little number with a citrus leaning, decent malty base gives a sweetness before the hops kick in again for a semi-bitter finish.

Cask at the Live and Let Live, Cambridge. Amber with a thin white head; sweet grainy aroma; sharp grapefruit flavour at first dry then becoming sweeter; clean refreshing finish. An excellent golden ale.

Cask, gravity from Bacchanalia, Cambridge to take away 27-03-10 consumed an hour or two later at campsite, Cabbage Moors, Cambridge Pours gold and really sparkling in this early spring evening, there is a lovely white head, another great looker.taste is initially a touch sweet but its got a laziness about it which is something you could never normally say about an Oakham beer. Not that crisp, in fact its soft rather than zesty, hops show but not in the usual Oakham way, you know this is fine but Oakham don’t usually do fine they’re normally bloody good, maybe it was a tad past its best?
