Blending chestnuts with sweet Maris Otter barley has produced the happy harmony for which Mr. Trotter was looking. The chestnuts give a nutty creaminess to the brew, a honied note to balance the alluring spiciness of the English Cascade and Bramling Cross hops.
Developed by Lancaster Brewery and the team behind Mr Trotter’s Great British Pork Crackling, food writers Tom Parker Bowles and Matthew Fort, and beer guru Rupert Ponsonby, Mr Trotter’s is the only chestnut beer to be brewed and bottled in the UK.

Old rating - A 500ml bottle picked up on my trip to Wales last year in a very random shop. A half decent chestnut ale, which pours red, slightly see through with a tiny head, Aromas & tastes of nuts & caramel. Touch malty.

Backlog June 2015. Clear pale amber body under a medium sized tan head. Aroma has malt, mild butterscotch and marmalade. Taste is sweet caramel malt, some butterscotch, hint of berries and nuts, moderate bitterness. Medium body and short in aftertaste. Rather boring.

Bottle shared at Cotteridge Convention 2017. Cheers! Pours clear gold with a frothy, white head. Lightly sweet, with notes of toasted grains, a little paper, hay. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Moderate sweetness in the finish, further lightly toasted grainy malts. So so overall
