Description
Mad Hatter Brewing Company was set up by Gaz and Sue in 2013, with just one grand in their back pockets, and a glorified home brew set up. The brewery has always punched above its weight, and was championed from the start by the brilliant Port St Beer House. They produce weird and wonderful beers alongside some classic pale ales, stouts and IPAs.

Keg at the Juke, Kings Heath, Birmingham. Very dark brown and only slightly translucent. The beige head disappears quickly. Light chocolate aroma with a metallic tinge. The taste is quite lovely, sweet with a decent little dollop of bitterness. Short finish. Carbonation is too heavy. Not bad... I'm used to Mad Hatter's bigger beers and their sours, so I found this a little bit wanting. But in truth it's certainly a good enough porter.

440ml can taken away from Beer Dock, Crewe. Very dark brown. Only slightly translucent. A perfect creamy beige/tan head. Chocolate malt, plums, cherry brandy, a lot of naked booze in the aroma. There's a bitter chalkiness to the taste. It threatens to sweeten but it doesn't, and closes with a note of earthy hop. The boozinesss disappears in the finish; in fact it tastes almost sessionable. Bitter cooking chocolate, coffee grounds and sour cherry in the aftertaste. Very nice.
