Description
Elgood & Sons is a family-owned brewing company situated in the heart of ‘Fen’ country in Cambridgeshire, England. Home to Elgood’s is the North Brink Brewery which was established in 1795, and was one of the first classic Georgian Breweries to be built outside London.
In 1878 it came under the control of the Elgood family, and so it remains today, with the fifth generation of the Elgood family now coming through to run the business, maintain the traditions, and push the company boldly forward into the 21st Century.

Bottle from a trade with Grumbo, thanks! Aroma is roasted malt, strong liquorice, a little smokiness, burnt caramel, with a touch of dark cocoa and coffee. Flavour is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium. Bit too heavy on the liquorice and burnt notes for my taste.

Аромат очень понравился, приятные и сильные ноты от сливы, причем сладкой, как будто намеки на варенье, есть как будто ягоды типо яживики и малины Цвет темный но на просвет, пенка есть не большая, крупно пузырчатая. Вкус питкий, снова а основе слива сладкая, но очень притная. От нее при глотке кислинка небольшая. Как будто листья от смородины черной, снова как будто варенья ягодное. В целом очень зашло, хоть и питко.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Poured into my Gordons thistle shaped glass at home on Sunday 26th January 2025, Live tasting of the only beer I am having today. Fast fading beige head on a clean and clear chestnut red body. Soft malty nose and initial taste, boozy feel and semi sweet throughout. Hedgerow fruits and raisins/plums arrive mid sip. Weather outside is awful and this has brightened up my evening somewhat.

Spotty beige head on a reddish brown coloured body.
Toffee, berry & malt aroma.
Medium bodied, soft on the tongue thinning out to a cloying back.
Berries, bready, pear, clove, woody & malt tastes with a tangy finish.
It's one of them that would be way better from Cask.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a dark brown with moderate sized beige head, nice lacing. Aroma of chocolate, liquorice, boozed up fruit cake. Taste of fruit cake soaked in alcohol, chocolate, herbs. It goes slightly beyond a treat into something touching chemical although not so much as to be awful. Medium to full bodied. Its ok but not great for a 6.6% stout.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear copper brown with thin off-white top. Aroma of ethanol, toffee, brown sugar, liquorice, light fruit cake. Taste is very malty, brown sugar, toffee, almond and a slight floral hop. Medium to full bodied and very much a sipper. Its ok, a bit on the rough side.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear red-brown with thin off white top. Boozy sweet fruit cake, dark chocolate, caramel on the nose. Taste of sweet mixed fruit, dark malts, chocolate, medicine. Rich and tangy. Medium to full bodied, moderate carbonation, not too boozy in the finish. Lacks a bit of finesse but its bloomin' tasty.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours near black with small beige head with nice lacing. Aroma of roasted malts, dusty chocolate, fruity plum. Taste follows the same path - roasty, cocoa dusting, fruity plum but a well balanced adjunct addition, a light grassy and spicy hop. Medium bodied, semi-drying. Good stuff.

Bottle from Beers of Europe, online. Pours a dark clear gold, small white head, modest retention. Aroma of pale malts, an odd rhubarb and custard note, floral with light spice. Interesting. Taste also has a fruity rhubarb note with a biscuit malt base, a bit over filtered and tinny in the middle but some nice floral and spice notes in the finish with a moderate bitterness. Light bodied but fairly smooth with a high lager like carbonation. Mixed but on balance I quite like it.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a clear dark amber, small off-white head Aroma of malts and sour funky fruit including apples and citrus. Taste of moderately sweet and sour fruits, yeast, caramel. Medium bodied. Quite a malty sour beer but it works, there is a nice balance to this.
