Description
Our calling came from above to bring the taste of heaven to Herne, god looked down and saw that it was 'Goody Ales'.

We were both teachers before we saw the light. A voice from above said let there be light ale.

It was written in scriptures that towards the end of days, a brewery would be born in Herne and it will be named Goody Ales.

From that day forth fine ales will be brewed using the god given fruits of the earth - barley, water, hops and a sprinkling of manna.

Goody Ales use traditional methods to produce cask conditioned and bottled English beer. We brew with the finest quality floor malted Maris Otter barley and Kentish hops. The brewing process utilises nothing more than malt, water, yeast and hops to provide you with pure Kentish beer.

Bottle shared at chriso’s May 2014 tasting - London. Pours clear brown with a tan cream head. The aroma is a little odd, with notes of milk chocolate, earth and...tea. Light sweet flavor with charred malts, leather, earth, cocoa. Light bodied with fine/average carbonation. Sweet finish with notes of chocolate, tobacco and wet earth. OK.

Bottle from strand wine co. 500ml 5.0% abv. Aroma is earthy dirt, farmyard, berry and coffee beans. Dark caramel coloured pour with a small fleeting tan head. Flavour is dirty earthy wood, manure and soft roast barley. Palate is medium full. Good dirty farmyard porter.

Cask. It wasn’t a stout- deep amber with a small head. Loads of malt and toffee, with hints of dark fruit. Quite tasty.
