Description

Brewing started behind the Royal Clarence Hotel, and in those days trading as the Royal Clarence Hotel Brewery, in Burnhan-on-Sea in August 1982. A 5 barrel brew plant was used primarily to supply the hotel only. The brewery was taken over in May 1984 and the beers became more available in the free trade. Due to problems with the water supply, the brewery was using that much that hotel guests could not wash, the brewery moved in January 1993 to an old cider mill in West Hewish, Weston-super-Mare. Capacity was tripled during the move and in 2000 work started on upgrading the plant to a 30 barrel brew length. The brewery closed in early 2017 but relaunched shortly afterwards as Pitchfolk Brewery.

Bottle bought whilst on a visit to Somerset. Poured dark brown with a nice size beige head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, light coffee, dark fruit and nut. Moderate sweetness, medium roasted bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average to soft carbonation. Best of the 4 I brought back from this brewer.

Deep dark brown color, creamy head. Aroma has coffee and Baileys Irish Creme. Light to medium bodied. Roasted malt. Creamy with coffee and chocolate. Fine porter, full of flavor and surprisingly easy to drink.

Bottle conditioned. Dark amber color. Malt, raisin and something fishy in the aroma. Caramel and salt in the malty flavor. Laurel in the aftertaste.
