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?

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, golden colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Spicy and wheaty aroma, notes of coriander. Taste is spicy and wheaty, minimally tar, slightly fruity, cautious apricot basis, hints of orange, a bitter zesty touch, coriander overtones, spiciness is close to brine and mustard. Slightly awkward.

Cask at the Vanbrugh Tavern Beer Festival, Greenwich, my birthday bash, 2015. Light hazy gold pour with a white head. Vanilla, citrus and wheat aroma. More vanilla and citrus in the flavour. Quite nice .

Bottle thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - green notes like seaweed. Bandaid. Miso soup. Salty. Taste - smoky, seaweed, back chocolate note. Palate - full bodied with a big creamy texture and a full smoky dry finish. Overall - my reservations are that the whisky barrel has dominated the beer but in reality it’s a lovely beer.

On tap at The Bottle Shop London. Hazy gold almost sour on the aroma. Lemon barley water not unpleasant but a bit full on. Very lemony hoppy. Woke me the hell up.
