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.

440ml can. Pours hazy reddy purple with a pink head. Aroma of ripe blackcurrants, Ribena. Taste is definitely blackcurrant, but it's rather weak like a really watered down Ribena, light sweet and tart, no sourness or bitterness to speak of. Light-medium bodied, very soft carbonation. Ok but lacking, think it would work better as a sour and with a bit more alcohol.

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.
