About
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.

Thin Ice from Elgood's Brewery

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Cask handpull at Market Porter, London. Ruby with lasitng beige head. I’m guessing that it is supposed to be an old ale but can see it’s down as an ESB. A malty ashy aroma, but then too much caramel in the mouth and no sourness. But a tingly dry hop. As a darkish ale, yep, not bad, bit too sweet up front, but the hop stings the teeth on the finish. Interesting. A malt toffee hoppy beer.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 17 Dec 2007) Pitch black colour with creamy, pale brown head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of cold black coffee and cocoa. Roasted, malty taste with loads of chocolate and cocoa, hints of sweetness and a lovely cocoa bitterness in the finish. Very nice, traditional porter.

Cask-conditioned at the Lloyd’s No 1, Bristol as part of their November 2007 festival. Dark brown coloured with a reddish tinge. Aroma of chocolate, dark fruit and sweetish malt. Flavour of plain chocolate, roasted malt with a dry finish. Very enjoyable.

Bottle: Poured a medium clear amber color ale with a nice foamy head with some good retention. Aroma of biscuit malt is dominating with very little other attribute noticeable. Taste is also dominated by some biscuit malt with no discernable hops presence and some medium sweetness coming through. A bit too filtered for my liking but interesting nonetheless.
