Description
Since our inception on a commercial scale in 2008 we have evolved as a brewery immeasurably.
The Brewery has moved up several gears in the past 12 months & is now growing at an alarming rate!
We as a team have grown with the brewery. Started in 2008 with Directors James Farran, Andy Baker & Meyrick Kirk the brewery now has a fulltime drayman, a head brewer, a managing director & soon to be further additions to the team.
We are a brewery with an extreme passion & a strong identity, our beers are unapologetically flavour forward in nature, hop & malt laden beers that challenge today's modern beer lover. Beers with heart, soul & raging personality.
In the coming years we plan to continue to grow by fervently pushing the boundaries of what is possible when brewing beer, to excite you the deserving beer connoisseur who should settle for nothing less than than beers that excite & ensare your senses. We invest heavily in our beers with LOTS of the very best ingredients, why settle for beers that don't?

Bottled@chriso (bought at Utobeer). Yellowish golden colour, mediumsized white fluffy head. Aroma is mild farmyard, citrus, some slight yeastyness as well as mild earthyness. Flavour is zesty, citrusy, some floral notes along with yeast and some rather herbal notes.

Tap at the Euston Tap - 01/08/12. Jet black colouration with a thin tan head which soon vamooshises - fairly pronto! Dark fruit aroma, sweet malt and a piney citrus hint. Similar taste to nose - malty more so. Minimal carbonation - a little flat if anything? Bitter dry finish. Average.

28th April 2012: half pint, cask (Craft, London). Dark body, black as black with a good full tan coloured head. No lacing though as the beer level sank. Roasted malts rule the roost in this beer, both in the nose and the taste: coffee, dark chocolate, smoked/burnt hazel nuts and wood, hints of vanilla could also be found in the aroma and in the flavours once I started drinking it. Found it a little dry and unsweetened for my palate, but certainly drinkable.

Keg at the Rake. It pours cloudy orange-amber, with pretty much no head. The nose is raw hop, resinous, earth, sticky orange marmalade, pineapple and some farmyard. The taste is resin, earth, orange, tangy marmalade, tropical fruit, leaf, varnish and some alcohol warmth, with a long bitter finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Flavoursome and refreshingly bitter. Another winner from Summer Wine.

Bottle and keg. Hazy amber body with an off-white head that holds well. Lively carbonation. Nice lacing. Aroma of pine, caramel, toffee apple and pear drops. Flavour of pine, a hint of mango and a tangy lime finish. Good bitterness. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A delicious beer.

Bottle from Nina’s Mini Market. Dark brown body with a large tan head. Nice lacing. Complex aroma of liquorice, dirt, orange, rum, tobacco and dark chocolate. The flavour is, unsurprisingly, very malty, but there’s a faint tangy berry flavour that verges on sour. Slight smoky bacon flavour. Dry and bitter. Medium body with a sticky mouthfeel. Light carbonation. The flavour doesn’t quite live up to the complex aroma but this is still a very Porter.
