Always experimenting and expanding

We brew in small batches in our 15 barrel brewery and we’re always experimenting with new recipes. Dan and Pat ,with previous experience from the wine world, get to marry the fascination with the natural world and the art and science of fermentation.

Dan keeps cooking up some good recipes and Patrick the builder keeps finding ways to add more tanks and increase our production.

Massive crowler thanks to Leighton. It pours darkest brown with a thick tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, loads of coffee, cacao nibs, earthy, wood, leather and mild sweetness. The taste is smooth, sweet, sticky, coffee, roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, toasty coconut vibe, treacle, sticky and mild alcohol with a smooth finish. Full body and fine carbonation. Not a huge amount of depth, but enjoyable enough.
