In the spring of 2011 construction of the brewery started on the shed works and some awesome stainless steel was ordered from Bavarian Brewery Technologies. Hectic times and long hours later led to the first of the casks rolling out on the 19th December 2011.

Bottle with crazy thick orange wax. It pours opaque, motor oil black with a small, dissipating deep brown bread. The aroma is rich roasted malt, dark and decadent, umami, liquorice, bourbon soaked oak, vinous, red wine, jammy berry, bramble, blackcurrant, cherry and chocolate. The taste is slick, oily, thick, rich, chewy, decadent, dark roasted malt, bitter - sweet, warming spice, warming boozey slap, slick, oily, loads of dark fruits and berries, cherry, bramble, blueberry, fruit compote, gateaux, robust red wine vibes, liquorice, umami, jammy and touch of tannin with a warming finish. Fulsome body, fine carbonation and slick, oily mouth feel. A monster of a beer that blurs the boundaries with red wine.

Taste comprises dark malts, dried fruits, light yeast elements, oak, modest bourbon, brown sugar dusting, figs, toffee. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of alcohol. Not bad.
