Description
Fallen Angel Brewery was established in East Sussex in 2004 and soon became popular with its unique chilli ales and ciders. Combining the well documented benefits of beer with the nutritional benefits of chilli’s, including boosting circulation, improving heart health and lowering cholesterol not to mention the endorphin rush. Fallen Angel became widely known across the chilli fraternity and beer enthusiasts. It’s tagline being “modern ales- brewed traditionally”, the brewery continued to experiment and expand its range.
In 2012 the brewery closed, and moved to the East of England following a takeover by Broxbourne Brewery which also became the home of Fallen Angel beers. Commenced brewing as Broxbourne Brewery in March 2013, including some Fallen Angel beers. In 2015 the Brewery moved to Essex and the name reverted to Fallen Angel.
Beers made exclusively by Fallen Angel brewery, which were rated and believed discontinued prior to the 2012 takeover by Broxbourne are listed separately under their former East Sussex location.

Bottle thanks to Dirty Danny (living up to his reputation) at Cotteridge Convention 2016. It pours dark brown with limited head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, roasted malt, chocolate, earth and some green veg. The taste is tangy, sour, chilli action, hot tangy goodness, green veg, sherbet with a tangy, hot finish. Medium body and low carbonation. If I hadn’t just had that ghost chilli beer from Steel City I imagine this would have burned more. Hot, tangy and messy overall. Lives up to the hype.

Bottle shared during RBWG 2016. Pours clearish gold with a creamy white head. The nose has some ripening apples. Light to medium sweet flavorbwith more ripening apples, a little musty earth, then some chilli pepper spice. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes with a bit more peppery heat, some lightly dried and ripe apples. Interesting stuff.

Cask sample at the Rake, London Bridge. A sample was all I needed of this pointless beer. Pours dark reddish-brown with no head. Lots of over the top chilli in the nose. Shit loads of hot spice in the flavour. I’m not a fan of chilli beers but if they do have to exist then just a tad of chilli heat is needed not Krakatoa on the tongue. This rubbish I’m sure will go down well with the ’give me the hottest thing on the menu brigade’. Totally over the top, utterly pointless molten throat lava ’phall’ beer.

Cask gravity at the st Albans veer festival 2015. Hazed orange golden coloured pour with a thin halo of white head. Aroma is punch veg, spicy chilli pepper, stewed veg and tangy apple. Flavour is composed of veg pepper, warming chillies at the back of the throat, tangy apple, grainy . palate is medium light, warming, moderate carbonation, spicy finish. Low boost gold with chilli. Pretty terrible. Way too much veg character.

500ml bottle @ 12th Shrewsbury Bottle Share, April 15, courtesy of Blackhaddock. There’s not a lot else I hate more than chilli beer. Garlic beer probably - that was hard to beat. This is taking chilli to the extremes. A flanders red aroma bizarrely enough, first sip zaps you with fiery chilli. And that’s enough for me. No thanks.
