About
Since 1985, we have been producing the very best cask, keg and bottled beers, using the finest ingredients, while at the same time supporting the Great British institution that is fondly known as the 'pub'.

Our reputation for consistent excellence in product quality and customer service is the reason our beers are served in more than 1,200 pubs and bars throughout the West Midlands and South Wales. In fact, we've gone from a humbling beginning of producing approximately 10 brewers' barrels a week to an average of 800 barrels per week - that's more than 12 million pints per year!

Clear and golden with a frothy white head and a sweet biscuit malt aroma, with floral hints too. Very slightly grainy mouthfeel, there are fruity and floral notes on top of a sweet biscuit malt backbone, and hint of bitterness in the finish

Deep, dark brown, near black, with a frothy light tan head and a lovely soft aroma of mildly roasted coffee and some chocolate. Medium bodied, creamy smooth, a mild coffee flavour is coupled with a lovely background of roasted malt, and dry bitterness pokes through into the finish

Bottle from Asda. Pours a clear golden colour with a thinnish soapy looking white head. Aromas of biscuits, peppery spice and toasty bread with a hint of caramel and floral. Taste is again biscuity with more peppery spice, toasty bread and caramel. Still a little hint of floral and also a mild citrusy note. Subtle grassy hop on the finish. Medium body, low carbonation and slightly oily mouthfeel. Quite a nice beer enjoying it.
