Description
In 1992, Paul Theakston took a daring leap into the unknown. As a fifth generation brewer of his family company, he chose to leave T&R Theakstons following its sale to a national brewery. Instead, he chose to champion independent brewing in Yorkshire and built his own brewery in the very same town, Masham. The brewhouse contains a mixture of tradition and innovation, using the Yorkshire Square Fermentation system which we hold dearly. Our original brewhouse was built from reclaimed equipment which we still use to this day.

Flaska från SB. Mahognyfärgad klar vätska med en krämig skumpuck. Stor kropp, karamell, fruktkaka, fudge, rostade nötter allt mer än väl balanserat att en distinkt och rejäl beska som växer för varje klunk. I bakgrunden kan man ana ängsblommor ch mineraler. Ärkebrittisk och mycket god

Bottle thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - brown and cloudy. Foamy off-white head. Nose - toasty oak, flatulent and honeycomb. Taste - caramel, honeycomb and tangy wood and sweet spice. Palate - medium bodied, tangy sour and dry tangy bittersweet finish. Overall - bit of a woody funky edge to this.
