Simcoe from Great Heck Brewing
11 years ago
6.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Cask handpump at Bar Fringe Northern Quarter, Manchester, Saturday 18th April 2015 Mhhh...I have to say that I found this a bit drab for Great Heck, the hoppiness was really quite low, no real bite or full on flavour. It was golden in colour with a white film atop. A middling bitterness, but mostly underwhelming with the Simcoe failing to assert itself. Ok.A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov11 3.0

Dark Force Treason Stout from Great Heck Brewing

7.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
dark brown color. Very creamy white head. The nose explodes with vanilla, chocolate, espresso notes. Not sweet. Very lovely. The mouth is heavenly with treacles, chocolate fudge, vanilla and hazelnut all put together in a sweet delicate malty backbone. Fantastic. A real gentle beer that is superbly executed. Lingering hazelnut and chocolate finish. perhaps a bit too sweet for some, but I didn’t mind at all

Cask. Shakespeares, Sheffield. Clear gold. Frothy, lasting, white head. Wow. That’s a lot of Simcoe! Dank, and skunky. Pine resin. Overripe orange. Smells great. Taste is punchy bitter. Some chewy, malty sweetness. Smooth palate. Very easy drinking. Finishes long, lasting, sides of the mouth, bitter. The best cask beer I’ve had in ages.

Shankar IPA from Great Heck Brewing

8.2/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 10 Overall 8
Bottle from Merchants 1688, Lancaster. Dark gold/copper, decent carbonation. A bit of white head. Pune/resinous aroma. Pure unadulterated hop. Taste is more muted: surprisingly sweet, hinting at maple syrup. A bit of bitterness in the unexpectedly dry finish. Perfect amount of carbonation. A joy to drink, and a reminder why we rate beer.
