Description
The process of brewing beer hasn’t changed much since we started back in 1777. And neither has our unique approach to crafting characterful beer. But our equipment most certainly has.

Our state-of-the-art, independent, family-owned brewery now stands proudly alongside our old brewery on the banks of the River Stour in Blandford, Dorset. Using the finest ingredients and over 240 years of expertise, our brewers create beer that brims with flavour.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Sainsbury’s. Pours black-brown with a frothy, khaki topping. Medium sweet flavour with sturdy roast, bitter ash, scorched earth, burnt caramel, a little sugary black coffee. Light bodied with average carbonation. Some assertive bitterness in the finish, while at the same time also some sugary dark malts, yet not in balance. Some fun characteristics in here but not entirely cohesive.

Bottle on 26th March 2024. Pours copper with brownish-white foam and scant lacing. Malty aroma with spicy and herby hops. Blend of leafy and grassy hoppiness in-mouth, and a nutty malt finish. Zingy mouthfeel and a medium body.

Cask at Taplow H&W. We discovered this newly built pub whilst out for a walk. I went for this relatively low ABV beer in the hope of something citrussy and refreshing, not realising it was actually a honey beer. It poured a pale amber with a white head. The condition was average at best; a little flat, you'd expect better from a tied house. Sweet floral flavours up front (presumably from the honey). Creamy vanilla followed in the finish, and became a tad cloying by the end. It wasn't the citrussy brew I wanted (my fault for not checking with the bar staff!), but on the plus side it was nice to have something a little different. Unfortunately though I wasn't convinced by this one - the lack of condition may not have helped.

Rerate, 500 ml brown bottle, at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV is 4.4%. Clear and reddish brown colour, moderate white head. Aroma of malts, caramel, brittle, burnt breadcrumbs and earthy hops, hints of forest, moss and dark berries. The flavour has again malts, caramel and burnt breadcrumbs, followed by earthy hops. Bitter and roasty aftertaste. I'm upping the score a little.

Original rating, June 2007: 500 ml bottle, from the fridge (= too cold) at Arnie’s Coffee Bar / Bistro, Whitby. ABV was 4.4%. Brown colour, fizzy, minimal head. Reasonably hoppy aroma with some "boiled" malty notes. Brown ale flavour, some caramel and toffee.
