Formerly known as Barnstormer.
Rich in fruit with hints of chocolate, we’ve made Barnsey a full-bodied dark ale that is both complex and deeply satisfying.
Barnsey is a truly rewarding and enjoyable beer, carefully brewed using a mix of Maris Otter, Chocolate and Crystal malts together with Bramling Cross hops. Barnsey contains wheat and barley malt.

Half pint by hand pump at The Criterion in St Andrews. Dark, ruby brown under a creamy, beige head. Smell of roasted malts. Sweet dark malts, slightly roasted, fill the mouth becoming very smooth, with hints of coffee bitterness beneath [09.11.2008].

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, orangey brown with a small, creamy, beige head. Roasted aromas - perhaps also with some burned caramel. Medium-bodied, a little low in carbonation. Lovely notes of nuts and a little burned malts. The finish is dry with some malt astringency. 110208
