Nip is an extremely well balanced blend of flavours, sweetness and bitterness complimenting each other. A true barley wine that’s smooth and warming.
First introduced into our range in 1997, Nip is a classic barley wine. The definition of the Nip suggests that it is drunk in small quantities and frequently!

Cask at the Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. Shared with Keen. Clear deep amber beer. Good pale cream coloured bubbly head. Smooth palate, slightly dry. Well balanced sweet strong malt with lovely strong orangey hops, fresh and slightly spicy - nettley. A little bubblegum in the semi dry finish. Very tasty and hugely drinkable. Very good indeed!

Cask at the Grape and Grain Autumn beer festival 2011, Crystal Palace. Mahogany coloured pour, no head. Calvados apple aroma with a spot of treacle and toffee. Rich flavours of bonfire toffee and treacle. Long sweet finish. Warms the cockles.

Cask gravity at Dover BF 06. Chestnut colour with white head. Slightly vinous aroma. Good winter ale. Imagine curling up with this in front of a fire. Christmas cakey. Really vinous and enjoyable
