Description
In 1981, Peter Mauldon, the great grandson of Anna Maria decided to re-establish the family tradition and start a brewery in Sudbury once again. Peter had been too young to be involved in the original family business and had previously pursued a career with Messrs. Watney where he progressed to Head Brewer at the company’s large Mortlake Brewery.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Amber colour with frothy, white head. Frutiy nose with citrus, dried apricots and notes of dusty hops. Same goes with the taste: fruity with citrus, apricots and a pleasant bitterness in the finish with balanced notes of dusty hops. Nice, tasty and easy to drink, but nothing extraordinary.

Bottle: Black as a crow, creamy, stable "espresso" head; stronger, dense roast-malty, fruity (ripe berries) and coffeeish nose, hoppy aromas are also detectable; only in the beginning a slightly sweetish flavour, that becomes quickly dry and bitter, quite full bodied, velvet MF; very dry, fruity, slightly acidic finish with a coffeeish bitterness in the aftertaste. Pleasant and absolutely moreish !
