Brentwood Brewing Co.
Established in 2014
Elephant School Brewing is named after the Elephant School that was in the base for the army barracks, which was a depot for the Essex Regiment. The school was run by the British East India Trading Company and they trained people to ride Elephants before going out to India. The beers are not along the traditional lines of its parent and so you can expect to see some rather different samples of beers being born.

Bottle from Two Brews, Colchester. Pours very dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma of milk chocolate, roasted malt, light liquorice, coffee, lactose and dried fruit with maybe just a hint of cranberry referenced on the label. Medium sweetness, medium to heavy roasted bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average to soft carbonation. Enjoyable.
