Description
Hammerton Brewery is a microbrewery based in Islington brewing small batch beers with the aim to bring great tasting beer back to the borough and also re-establish the Hammerton Brewery name in London.

Hammerton Brewery originally began brewing in London in 1868. Sadly it ceased to brew in the late 1950s and was later demolished. In 2014, a member of the Hammerton family decided to resurrect the family name in brewing. It also brings brewing back to Islington, a London borough with a great beer making heritage.

Šokolaad, kako pulber, tugev tšilli, röst. Tšilli sõidab üle ja šokolaad tundub "pulbrine", joodav.

Can split at DS, thanks to Fergus, 29/09/22. Light black with a decent tan cap. Nose is toasted brown sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate biscuit, dried fruits, dark malts. Taste comprises chocolate, artificial sugars, dried fruits, cocoa powder, toffee. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok impy stout ... flavour belies the ABV but also lacks depth.

Can shared in London - cheers to Fergus. Pours clear, deep. Town with a small, creamy tan head. Medium sweet flavour, some chalky cocoa, light minerality, a little artificial cocoa, nips of dark fruits. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Sugary finish, more chalky cocoa. So so.

Can from BrewDog & Friends. It pours nearish opaque black with a thick, fluffy khaki head. The aroma is fresh, rich roasted malt, bitter - sweet, berry, jam, tropical fruits, mango, peach, dark chocolate, Terry's chocolate orange, charred pine, coffee grounds, dull smoke, umami and herbal accents. The taste is firmly dry, punchy bitterness which lingers throughout, charred, umami, liquorice, bitter dark chocolate, rocky road, light tannin, mango, peach, pithy, zesty orange, touch green, dank, weedy, sappy pine, nip of spice and booze with a drying, bitter charred pine finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Super flavourful stuff. BrewDog (and Hammerton) showing they can make a good classic punchy Black IPA. Very good.
