Description
Dog's Window Brewery has grown from the enjoyment and passion of good beer. As a social occasion, three friends would get together and sample various homebrews. The conversation would often lead to "You should sell this stuff it's really good" and "If this was on the shelf in a shop I'd buy it". The comments were jokingly laughed off with a reply of "Yeah maybe one day". Well that "one day" came when I thought, why not? I certainly wouldn't be the first.

We are a small scale microbrewery, which allows us to concentrate more on quality than quantity. Hops are re-sealed with a vacuum sealer after use and kept in a freezer for freshness. It also allows us to design new beers without worrying about securing huge amounts of ingredients. So Dog's Window progressed from homebrew to what you see today.

New brewery for me, and this is a decent intro. Malt-driven, with a good hoppy, bitter finish. Drinking whilst our dogs have a scrap with each other so not sure if it's working or not...

440ml can. Pours a hazy golden orange, big white head. Aroma of ripe tropical fruit, orange and pineapple. Taste is initially sweet with ripe mango, papaya, orange and pineapple, peach, and finishing with decent piney citrusy bitterness. Medium bodied. Almost like a west coast east coast hybrid this - soft juicy fruitiness but some solid bitterness at the end.

Black beer, tan head. Big malty aroma, a little coffee. Flavour has coffee, malt, a little anise, a nice toasty flavour to it. A little caramel maltiness, maybe? Nicely balanced, good body, supremely drinkable.

Can. A light haze on this slightly pale gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry and has a good fine minerally crispness. Thin malts, mildly sweet. The intriguing trio of hops bring crisp pine, thin peachy tropical fruits. Mistral and Barba Rouge are a bit lost on me, trace of candy fruits before a light finish. Crisp, clean and refreshing but could do with a lot more hop weight for me.

Handpull cask at the Pen & Wig, Cardiff. Dark indigo/brown and a bit translucent with a small uneven khaki/tan head. Aroma is roast malt, salt plum, a little balsamic vinegar. Lovely taste, not too sweet with a good lashing of plum and light notes of smoke. After taste of bitter cough syrup. Hig oily body with carbonation at a minimum. Very enjoyable.
