Description
St. Peter's is an independent brewery founded in 1996 by John Murphy in former agricultural buildings adjacent to St. Peter’s Hall in St Peter, South Elmham, near Bungay, Suffolk, England. Siting the brewery at St. Peter’s was ideal because of the excellent water quality from our own deep bore-hole. Locally malted barley is used, together with Kentish hops, to produce a range of classical beers (bitters, mild etc.) as well as some more unusual beers such as honey porter and fruit beer.

Fun fact: The oval shape of its signatory 500 ml bottle is based on an 18th-century gin bottle from Gibbstown, by the Delaware River near Philadelphia, USA.

Min aller siste flaske fra det nå nedlagte Forsterket, hjemme i solkroken etter dagens fasadevask: klar kobbergylden med fint skum som varer helt ned. Mild aroma og deilig maltsmak med hint av hasselnøtter, urter, citrus og barskog. Slank og smaksrik på samme tid.

Bottled (from Prisma Vaasa). Copper colour, small off-white head. Aroma is ryebread, hay, grass and some raisins. Flavour is rye, some grass, herbs, hay and mild strange sweetness. Not hopeless, but as it warms up the flavour goes a bit metallic.

Bottle. Really black sporting a with a huge dark beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, espresso, dark chocolate, red fruits and a whiff of vanilla. Taste of dark chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, dried fruits, mousse au chocolate, vanilla and espresso. Strong long lasting roasty bitterness. Low to medium carbonation. Velvety mouthfeel. Slightly boozy but still very balanced. Marvelous.

Auch wenn dir Biere der Brauerei weltweit relativ einfach zu bekommen sind, so ist sie offenbar doch noch eine unabhängige Brauerei. Die schwarzen Biere kannte uch schon länger und war immer schwer begeistert, deshalb war ich recht neugierig auf dieses Bier. Allerdings konnte es mich nicht wirklich überzeugen. Es hat nette herbe Noten, aber die späte Bitterkeit macht den Abgang unrund. Da bleibe ich lieber bei den süßen Dunklen von St. Peters.

Mørk amber. Klar. Lavt luftig skum med litt farge. Daler sakte. Aroma av malt & karamell. Smaken det samme. Litt krydret. Tørr avslutning. Beskjeden bitterhet.

Brown with a creamy, beige head. Smells like a German Malzbier, a mix of caramel and candy in a bucket of something fermenting, and smelling less than appetizing. Taste is moderate sweet with the steady, malty caramel undertone being the highlight. Delivers its sweetness without feeling cloying. Finishes short and watery, and lacking bitterness. Drinkable in a pinch.

Bottle from St Peters Brewery Shop, South Elmham. Clear lighter golden with an extremely light carbonation and a very thin head. Citrus notes are evident but do not make it a particularly flavoursome brew, not is that active in its lager characteristics either. However, its a crisp and palatable effort.
