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.

19th July 2021; Shrewsbury Beer Share in Chez Sophie, five of us splitting 16 different beers, t'was a good night! 440ml can of this, taken by me: BB Feb 2022. Red bodied, pinkish head. Strong vanilla like aroma, initial taste also favoured vanilla before a semi-sourness kicked in. Interesting and different.

Can from Beer52. Pours pretty much jet black with a sizeable but transient dark beige head. Fudge, coffee, chocolate and fruitcake in a rich heady aroma. Has a smooth creamy texture, and flavours on the sweet side. Milk chocolate to the fore, along with fudge, toffee and honey. Some bitterness from coffee grounds in the finish. This a is pretty much a liquid Mars Bar ! Very nice but not much beer character to it.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A cola brown coloured pour with a thin caramel coloured head; aroma of fudge and earthy nuts; oddly bitter taste to start then settling down to a sweet fudgy body with a milky consistency; and some nice bitter coffee and dark chocolate towards the finish. Pleasant enough, but not my kind of thing.

330ml can, drank at my parents on 25th Jun 2021, part of a Beer52 box. Black bodied, beige foam on top. Reminded me of a bowl full of Tiramisu. It's rich, and almost sickly in nature.

Can on 25th June 2021 from Gorillas. Rated as a novelty ale. Pours deep sepia with tan foam and scant lacing. Intense peanut nuttiness in aroma, Rich and intense peanut butter in-mouth with a hint of rum and raisins. A roasty finish with hints of smoke, fruitcake and spices. Smooth mouthfeel and medium body. A thrilling stout!
