Description
Established in 2005 and bottling since 2008. Headed by Phil and brewed by Rob, we’re a small team brewing a wide range of beers in cask, keg, bottle and can. Along with a core offering we also have seasonal brews and a one off brew range called ‘New Tricks’. Experimental recipes are run through our small batch kit before trying them out on the main kit and releasing them to the masses. Some of these have proved so popular that they’ve graduated to our core range.

Cask @ Tap and Can. Pours dark, frothy tan head. Not feelin it unfortunately. Feels a little empty, could be maltier, more chocolatey, creamy.. but seems lacking in all these departments.

Cask @ Tap and Can. Pours a generally clear gold, white head. Not a lot going on really.. very light, very easy-drinking, fleeting floral citrus moments, pale malt. Disappears quick.

(Cask at Lyric, Soho, London, 22 May 2023) Dark brown colour with hints of ruby. Creamy beige head. Malty nose with caramel, dark fruit and plums. Malty taste with notes of caramel, chocolate, dark fruit, plums, roasted malt and a balanced roasty bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty, smooth and well balanced porter. Nice one.
