Colonel Custard. The nickname of a tiny dog with a massive personality. Our annual release in memory of Tusker is a stonker.
We’ve gone Bourbon bonkers. A 100% organic Imperial Scotch Ale, aged in Heaven Hill barrels. A deep rich vanilla aroma with a silky smooth finish. It’s the perfect compliment to a Christmas Pudding or a filthy great cheeseboard.

Dark beer, thin head. Smells sweet and malty. Flavour has a sweet booziness, malt, a little chocolate, a dash of alcohol warmth. Fruity, boozy finish.
