Description
Brass Castle commenced brewing in a garage as a commercial home brewer in August 2011 initially in Pocklington, East Yorkshire. In December 2013 they relocated to Malton, North Yorkshire and expanded to a 10BBL plant. Over time, new tanks arrived and a Taphouse was established next door. Success, friends, family and the odd bank loan have got us where we are now.

The brewery has always pushed itself to brew interesting beers, under the very deliberate constraint of doing so without the use of animal products. In turn, this caused Brass Castle to develop a house yeast strain and specialised processes that could guarantee the final product. From December 2017, every beer brewed at Brass Castle has been based on a gluten-free beer recipes – on the basis that beer should be made available to as many people as possible. Most recently, the brewery invested in canning line and carbonation tanks, to spread the beers further than they have gone before.

440ml can. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a lasting frothy light tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, chocolate and some light grassy hops. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a roasty, liqourice, boozy alcohol, chocolate, light vanilla palate. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation.

Black beer, head fizzles out pretty quickly. Big chocolatey vanilla aroma that hit me as soon as I popped the can. Taste has rich chocolate, a little coffee, vanilla, maybe a hint of anise and there's a little boozy warmth to it. Very rich and very tasty.

Clear golden beer, thick white frothy head. Floral, hoppy aroma. Floral flavour too, with a bit of zesty hop in there and the oatmea makes it nice and smooth while still being crisp and refreshing. Pretty tasty and would be amazing for a beer garden.

Cloudy golden beer, thin bubbly head. Loads of hoppy aroma as well as something savoury, a little spiced perhaps. Flavour has a good bittersweet whack of fruit and hope too with a some tartness, citrus and a bit of tangy-sweetness at the end. Nice clean finish too. Lovely stuff, very drinkable.

A perfectly solid but unremarkable pale. Slightly hazy gold, white head, decent hoppiness to it and a nice crisp finish with a little zestiness. You could session this nicely though.
