Beheaded is our strongest ale; dark and deceptive with a smooth, slightly sweet first impression and none of the alcoholic twang often associated with strong beers. Its complex, indulgent flavour is legendary.

19/7/2024. Cask at the 2024 Chelmsford Summer Beer & Cider Festival. Poured clear dark reddish brown with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma is fruity, nut, malt, toffee, bread, toasted notes, hint of chocolate. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness and body. Very smooth, with soft carbonation. Gentle warming finish. Enjoyed this.

(bottle) Slightly hazy, dark amber to brown colour with a short and slightly off-white foamy head. Earthy malty aroma with hammy and nutty notes, subtle fruity accents and woody/korky hops. Mildly sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a calm carbonation. Earthy and slightly nutty taste with berry fruits, hints of smoked ham and mildly woody hops; mildly sweet-bitter finish with caramel and a well-masked alcoholic strength. Interesting. 11.I.18

Bottle: Clear, light ruby-amber coloured, slowly collapsing loose off-white head; moderate sweet caramelly-toasty nose with traces of dried berries and wood(!?); moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied with a slight tartness; lingering - a bit tangy - sweetish fruity-caramelly finish with traces of alcohol and herbal hops in the aftertaste. Not great, but still quite well drinkable...

Clear amber brown colour, small foamy off-white head, dissipates quickly, minimal lacing. Strong aroma, toasted malts, honey, dark fruits, brown sugar. Taste medium to heavy sweet, light bitter, toffee, caramel. Full body, oily to sticky texture, bit tingly on the tongue, average carbonation. Finish mild sweet, roasty, slightly bitter, raisins, some alcohol, overall a decent strong ale.

Bottle from the brewer’s own stand at the Good Food Show at Birmingham NEC. Ruby coloured. Really fruity this one- plums and raisins and Christmas cake- backed up with good toffee malts. Heady alcohol is pretty well integrated into it. It’s sweet (but not overly so), potent and warming, reminiscent of a nice barley wine. I like it.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Copper coloured with a sugary sweet toffee nose and a small creamy head. It certainly doesn’t feel its strength with a fairly bland taste but a smoothish texture.

Hazy darkish amber beer, small off white head. Light dry palate. Lightly caramel malt. A little minerals. Mild bubblegum and banana esters. Dry finish. A bit clunky.
