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.

Аромат в основе солодовый, с легкой кислинкой. Пена отсутствует, цвет слегка коньячный, коричневый с темно красным оттенком. Вкус неожиданно в основе кофейный с намеком на кофе и карамель. Также пиво хорошо горчит. Послевкусие очень сухое с отчетливой горчинкой. В целом действительно необычная комбинация вкуса.

Аромат классический для битера. Немного травы и леса, хмель английский, немного дерева а также ноток от карамели. Цвет красивый, глубокий коричневый при этом светлый, пенка очень приятная и пышная, при этом стоит весьма плотно и долго. Вкус питкий, в меру хмелевой и по горячи хорошо. Карамелька и леденцы почти полностью ушли отдав пост солоду и его зернистости. При глотке умеренная горечь, но после почти ничего, уже слишком водянисто. А так очень неплохой биттер.

500ml bottle. Quasi black colour with weak ruby shimmer and average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Sweet-ish, minimally artificial, fruity and minimally soapy aroma, dark malty background, notes of plum, overripe plum. Taste is bitter, chocolately and roasty, dark malty, sweet.-ish, slightly artificially fruity, notes of plum and chocolate.
Watery texture, minimally dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation.
Rather sweet and slightly artificial, nice plum touch nevertheless - OK.

Bottle, amazed it's not reviewed. Nose is treacle, soy, tar, hint of anise. Taste is big soy, bitter herbal hop, smoke, and pronounced licorice. Shock

As I can't seem to upload my previous ratings from another site I'm starting again and rating everything.

Good pour but perhaps a bit cold from being stored in my garage. I love this beer, hops, malt, spice and rich fruit. A proper English strong ale.

Nice bottle: just what the doctor ordered! Jet black with a dark tan head. Finely porous head: appears stable. Lovely nose: dark milky sugary coffee, cocoa, blackcurrant cordial. Taste doesn't pack quite the same punch. Coffee and cocoa, some vanilla. Nice lingering finish. Not very thick and oily. Very good.
