Description
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!

Bottle. Dark reddish colour. Very roasted flavour. Did not seem very complex, but OK.

Deep brown body, medium tan head leaving nice lacing. Bitter, charred roasted malt aroma. Thin-bodied and very dry, dominated by the same roasted/charred malts noted in the aroma with peeks of dark chocolate and an almost bitingly bitter finish. Not worth the dough (or the barley, for that matter).

A dark amber beer with a fine head. The aroma is slightly fruity. The flavor is a smooth sweet maltyness combined with the Wye Valley yeast and an OK bitter end. An OK bitter.

[Cask at Gullivers, Copenhagen] An amber beer with a fine light brown head. The aroma is sweet and fruity while the flavor is cask flat, sweet malty with notes of caramel. It is a nice beer.

[Cask at Gullivers, Copenhagen] An amber beer with a fine beige head. The aroma is slightly fruity. The flavor is fruity with lots of aroma hops (fuggles?) wich gives it grassy and oily notes, combined with orange and peach from the yeast. It ends on a slightly bitter note - but more bitterness on the tongue. A really nice beer.

[Cask at Gullivers, Copenhagen] A black beer with a beutiful chocolate brown head. The aroma is slightly sour combined with roasted notes - I wonder where the sourness comes from? The flavor is slightly sour with notes of coffee. The sourness pricles the tongue until it ends on a roasted malty dry note. A bad taste - on my tastebuds.

First off, this has the best, biggest, longest lasting, most substantial, creamy head I've seen. Good aroma, some spicy wheat and hops in there. Nice amber-red color, quite hazy, bottle conditioned. Tons of lacing. Seeping with quality. Flavor is quite round and very fluffy, but has some nice bitter elements on the finish. A touch of dry, chewy caramel malt. Incredibly well done, big body, but needs more complexity to back it up. Gets a touch boring towards the end.

Bottled. Nut brown. Raisin aroma. Malty and fruity, full bodied. Salty, bitter finish. Well crafted, but perhaps a bit plain.
