Description
Beer for purists. Pure & Simple. Here, amidst the pure shores and rolling glens of the Isle of Man, Okell's has been defined by our beautiful Island for over 170 years and guided, in all that we brew, by its unique Brewing Purity Law.

Dr. William Okell, a Cheshire surgeon, started Okell's Brewery in Castle Hill, Douglas, Isle of Man in 1850. He was a man of singular drive and ambition - by 1874 Dr. Okell owned many of the pubs on the island, had convinced Tynwald (the Isle of Man's parliament), to create an act ensuring the purity of beer brewed on the Isle of Man, and built The Falcon Steam Brewery just outside Douglas.

It's A Continuing Tradition...
We care about the beers we make, and for our Head Brewer Kevin Holmes, it's a never ending passion to create the perfect pint of Okell's. Making the perfect pint from only 4 ingredients is a special skill handed down by generations of Master Brewers.

Continuing our tradition of innovation, Okell's has the only wide gap plate and frame heat exchanger for heating the wort in the Copper in the British Isles.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 24 Oct) Pitch black colour with frothy, brown head. Roasted nose, slightly smokey, with coffee, chocolate, cocoa, tar and wet ashes. Fruity and roasted taste with coffee, chocolate, blueberries, crowberries and a nice citrussy bitterness i the finish. Slightly sweet notes of cherries hidden somewhere in the middle. Very good, nice surpise.

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Black. Aroma of licorice and lemon. Medium sweet with evident beechwood smokeiness, notes of tobacco and coffee. Creamy roasty malt gives it rounded mouthfeel, while smoke and salt fight for attention in the finish.

Bottle, 4.5%. Rough, citric hop aroma. Hazy golden colour. Lots of flavour hops. High bitterness, which gets a bit sour after a while.

Casked. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruitish and flowery hops. Flavour is quite watery, hoppy and flowery. Slight hints of caramel. Quite pleasant in cask also.

Draught. Pitch black colour, huge white head. Aroma of sweet malts, some hops, roast and hay. Also dark fruit and slight roast. Flavour strong roasted and smoked malts with caramellish hints. Wet smoked wood in finish and aftertaste. Quite leathery all the way through also. Pleasant brew, though the hops do make it a bit "strange".

[Cask at Stockholm Beer Festival] Clear golden. Concentrated hay aroma. Soft and medium bodied. Malt is there to support and lay a soft foundation, but hops make up most of the flavour - hay is dominant. Medium bitterness.

[Cask at Stockholm Beer Festival] Clear deep golden. Pleasant grassy hops dominate the nose. Underneath lies soft caramelly malt building up a medium sized body. Medium bitterness. Good beer.

Tap@Beer Hunters, Pori. Pitch black, tiny tan head. Chocolaty, slightly roasted aroma. Roasted, chocolaty, maybe a hint of smoke here in the flavor, otherwise "smoked" is quite misleading.
