This is a creamy, full bodied malty brew, satisfyingly rich with distinct caramel and coffee notes. A combination of crystal and roasted malts give the stout its deep, dark flavour topped of with a creamy, thick tan head. Unlike some stouts, it isn’t overly bitter due to careful use of traditional English hop varieties in the brewhouse.
Winner of the CAMRA Winter Beer festival in Derby 2013. In WW2 Ratliffe’s Stout was sent out as a gift by Phipps to the Northamptonshire Regiment who were a part of the Desert Rats and they continued to supply the regiment as they fought through North Africa and Italy.

Handpull cask at the Albion Brewery Tap, Northampton. Reddish brown with a small loose off-white head. Leather smell with some chocolate fudge and biltong. Sweet taste with savoury meaty overtones. Light, almost watery palate. A Sunday lunch stout, bold in its originality but maybe not my cup of tea.

Bottle from Favourite Beers, Cheltenham. Near black in colour, with a slight, beige, head. Aroma of coffee and slightly sweet, dark fruits. A bit thin in the mouth, with toasty malts, a touch of liquorice and relatively gentle finish. Fine.

Bottle. Black beer with a strong but soon disappearing head. The aroma is lightly roasted, and the flavour is roasted and mildly bitter with a sweetish edge. Overall a nice beer but more akin to a mild than a standard stout.
