Description
Conceived as a ‘nomadic’ project, The Beak has spent several years creating unfiltered, seasonally-inspired beer with friends at some the greatest UK breweries, including North Brew Co, Partizan, Beavertown, Burning Sky and Northern Monk. We've now laid roots in our hometown of Lewes in East Sussex, where we've built a 15-BBL neighbourhood brewery and taproom with a mixed-fermentation project and weekend street food canteen. Please come and say hi!

440ml can from the brewery. Poured a hazy golden orange colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, tropical citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, oaty, pineapple, mango, lime, light floral, dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours opaque brown to black with a decent tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, bitter - sweet, cacao nibs, dark chocolate, salty liquorice, I definitely understand the pretzel description, umami, charred oak and spice. The taste is dry, rich roasted malt, bitter - sweet character, umami, toasty, charred oak, loads of dark cacao, dark chocolate, savoury, salty pretzel, liquorice, rocky road, nutty, praline and just a touch of that 12% alcohol is present. Finish is bitter - sweet dark chocolate. Fulsome body (bit not too thick) and light to moderate carbonation. Really nice old school imperial stout vibe. Great bitter - sweet balance.

Can sourced from Ales and Brews and shared at home (21/05/2022) - hazy golden yellow with a white head. Juicy fruity with vibrant notes of melon and pineapple, satsuma, peach, nelson induced white grape, nice zesty citrus peel throughout, soft sweet supporting malts, solid balanced bitter hoppy close. Another winner from Beak, lovely.

Tap @ Taphouse, Cph. Nice creamy head with excellent duration. Color is black. Aroma and taste are rich bitter hops, lots of roast malt, coffee, chocolate and has a nice long bitter smooth and roasty finish. I would have guessed India Dark with all those hops.

440ml can. Pitch black with a thin reddy-brown head. Aroma of cherries, chocolate, raspberry. Taste is fruity, lots of cherry both sweet and sour, raspberry purée, chocolate, warming alcohol. Full bodied, and smooth. Fruited stouts aren't my thing but this works well, and probably the best mashup in terms of style melds.
