Named after a stuffed red squirrel that used to live in the Driftwood Spars bar. Sadly, Alfie went walkabout a few years back and hasn’t been seen since; we hope he’s in good company wherever he is!
A strong, rich ale with a beautiful deep polished red colour. alfie’s has a big malt flavour, with chocolate and biscuit notes.

Light brown. No head. Hazy. Malt-accented aroma with light fruitiness. A little bit of chocolate. Finishes moderately bitter. Decent strong ale.

Cask at The Driftwood Spars. Pours a dark coppery brown with a creamy beige head. Aromas of floral and caramel. Flavor is floral, caramel, mildly spicy with a light hint of treacle. So it finishes bitter and sweet together.

Cask-conditioned at the Cornish Beeriodical, the Seven Stars, Bristol 7/02/2011. Medium brown with a slight, off-white head. As DruncanVeasey mentions, the key thing here was a 6.5% ABV beer managing to show zero alcohol. This was the final beer of my evening, given the strength, but was blown away by the earlier, weaker beers, including Keltek’s 4% mild. Sweet, a bit fruity and forgettable. A waste of alcohol.
