Description
Joseph Holt is a unique brewery: it embodies both traditional values and exceptional brewing. For more than 160 years the company has not only created and developed award winning beer, but also served the community of which it forms a part of. It has built sustainable jobs and worked with charities to deliver substantial benefits to people living in the brewery’s area of operations and beyond.
Established in 1849, Joseph Holt Ltd has been managed by its founding family for five generations. Throughout that time the company has been driven by traditions of professionalism, honesty and innovation. So the business, although rooted in the traditional values of a family firm with a reputation built on traditional draft and bottled beer, has always looked to evolve. The most recent developments in that evolution are the Crystal and Diamond range of lagers and the Golden Ale Two Hoots. These products join the collection of award winning lagers and excellent Smooth and Black keg beer.
The brewery has an established pub estate that is carefully managed to ensure that it is focused on growth.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Daniel, a real player. Pours deep amber-brown with a creamy off-white head. Rich fruity aroma, grapes, berries. Medium sweet flavor with rich berries, some toffee, raspberry seeds, bread. Medium bodied kith average carbonation. Finishes somewhat sweet with more berries, earthy bitterness, berry seeds and skins. So so.

Dobre piwo o miedziano herbacianej barwie, prawie bez piany. W smaku prazone orzeszki, karmel i spora dawka goryczki. Wytrawne i solidnie gozkie. Nice One.

Color caoba. Limpia. Abundante espuma ocre, bastante cremosa. Aroma poco marcado. Buen punto de gas en la boca, poco cuerpo. Ligera. Sabor contenido, pero realmente agradable. Tostado muy malteado. Buen punto entre dulce y amargo, y ligeramente especiado y un punto picante. Buena ale.

Negra, ligeramente rojiza. Casi opaca. Un par de dedos de espuma, no demasiada duradera. Aroma seco, escaso ligeramente lácteo. Cuerpo medio, rico sabor de café. Buen equilibrio entre dulce malta y un ligero toque amargo. Carbonatación agradable que mejora el conjunto. Rica.

Dark amber with reddish shades. Rapidly disappearing tan head. Aroma yields coffee, tobacco, caramel, plantain, iodine. Lacking sourness, body and persistence. Bah.

From cask at Albert Square Chop House, 07.05.15. Pale clear golden. Dense and persistent white head. Soft and moderate aroma of pale malt and fine hops. Good drinkability, but quite anonymous.

Bottle from Morrisons. Drunk on a train. Malty aroma. Like brown malt. For a strong beer it’s quite thin. yes malty. Some hop on the finish. Malty is about all I can say. Like lots of brown malt but with a thin finish. Disappointing.
