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 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.

15/9/2018. Bottle from Hopsters, Ipswich. Pours thick, almost black with a dark brown head. Aroma of coffee, lactose, deep roasting, dark fruits, hazelnut and chocolate. Medium sweetness and medium to heavy roasted bitterness. Full bodied, extremely thick texture, and very soft carbonation. Really good, and definitely the thickest beer I've had for such a modest abv.

Bottle shared with OGJ and JMD at True North, Stavanger, 13.09.18. Translucent orange amber. Small off-white head. Fine aroma and taste of plums, plum stones, corrints, dates and English Christmas cakes - skillfully balanced with bitterness and a hint of bark.
