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?

Bottle at home in London - sourced from Kris Wines, I believe. Soloing an impy stout on a Sunday evening. Pours oily, deep black with a fluffy tan head that relaxes down expeditiously. There’s a fair bit of sugary chocolate in the aroma, moderate roast, burnt grains. Big sweet flavor with sugary, gooey milk chocolate, very mild bitterness, some dark berries, raisins, accents of caramel and burnt marshmallows. Full bodied, a little chewy, with fine carbonation. Sticky-sweet on the finish, lightly warming, with somewhat syrupy dark malt character, lots more simple chocolate, hints of vanilla. I think this beer is two years old, and you can detect some very slight oxidation on the margins. The beer is perhaps a bit unbalanced to the sweet side, but in small doses it is enjoyable stuff.

Craft Tottenham Court Road. Cask. Clear pale gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and semi dry, low carbonation. Light lagerish malts, cereral. Touch of semi sweet floral lemon livens things up. Light flat finish. Overall flat and messy and most disappointing.
