Description
An independent brewery founded in 1996 and employee owned since 2024, we like to think that we blend creativity and innovation with heritage and tradition, reflecting these values across our beers. Our house style could typically be described as pale and hoppy, but that’s not all we can do! As the beer world has evolved so have we, covering a wide range of styles and continually pushing the boundaries of what we can create.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 7/03/2011. Near black with a slight, off-white head. Peaty aroma with some decent chocolate notes. Flavour had some sweetish fruit, plenty more chocolate and an ashy edge, with a lingering dry finish. Very good.

Cask at the Shovel, Lye. Pours a very dark brown with a medium head. Aroma was smoked peat and roasted fruity malt underneath. Taste was mild smoked peat to start and a smoked peat blackcurrant finish. A bit thin, perhaps not the best condition.

Gravity cask at the Bricklayer’s Arms BF, 2011. Pours a semi-clear, ruby brown with a soft, off-white head. Nose holds some understated smoked malts and some definite sugar. Flavor is nice and sweet with dark malts, medium roast, with great but not too intense smokiness and some mild, earthy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes sweet and smokey, some light wood, charcoal, dark sugar and faint hops, perhaps citrus. Awesome beer.

(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 27 Nov 2010) Copper colour with brief head. Malty, fruity nose with dried fruit, fruitcake, raisins and hints of old socks. Fruity, malty taste with notes of raisins, prunes, dried fruit, caramel and treacle. Full body with slightly oily mouthfeel. Vinous and warming. Very sweet with some spicy bitterness coming through the alcohol veil. A bit boozy and unrefined, but quite enjoyable in moderate amounts.

Cask, handpump at The Hunters, Kilburn, Derbyshire, 05.11.10 Pours black with a light beige head. This is a nice fruity stout with plenty of cocoa powder and the light creamy chocolate. The finish is quite dry, however its more notable for being quite rich and smooth. Like this. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Golden. The aroma is herbal. The body is a bit creamy, with light floral and fruity hops. Really sessionable. Goes down very quickly.
