Description
Kirkstall Brewery was inspired by the rich brewing history of Kirkstall village, which later formed part of the city of Leeds. The brewing company boasts a rich history spanning from the 12th century, where the Cistercian monks founded Kirkstall Abbey and began the area’s brewing legacy. The original Kirkstall Brewery was founded in 1871 and was in operation till 1983 when it was closed by its last owners, Whitbread. The buildings have been well preserved and are now home to students of Leeds Metropolitan University. The new Kirkstall Brewery is located on the Leeds Liverpool canal, in the shadow of the original brewery, reviving the tradition of brewing in Kirkstall and the inspiration to once again make the name famous for great beer.

Cask at CP&K. It pours darkest brown (near black) with small beige head. The nose is scortched earth, leather, roasted malt, charcoal and pepper. The taste is wood, earth, dark fruit, berry, roasted malt, toast, decent bitterness and charcoal with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A solid porter all-round.

Cask at CPK, London. Pours clear gold with a fine, foamy white head. Sweet and ripe citrus in the nose. Medium sweet flavor, dry straw, some minerals, sugary lemon merengue. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly sticky sweet finish, ripe orange, some doughy malts. Hints of minerals. Decent overall.

Cask at the Euston Tap - London. Pours perfectly clear yellow with a tight, creamy white head. Doughy white bread in the nose. Light sweet flavor, biscuity pale malts, straw, some cereal. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly sticky to finish, more doughy biscuits, faint corny cereal, mellow straw bitterness. Hints of lemon rind. Simple but easygoing sessioner.

Craft Clerkenwell. Clear gold beer, little white head. Light palate, slightly soft with very mild carbonation. Nice hops - mild but resinous citrus orange and grapefruit. A touch of lemon. Again (with Kirkstall) a mild floral note, this isn’t a bad thing at all but seems to be on most of their beers. Perhaps the yeast? Finishes smooth with pleasant tangy fruit hops. Nice beer but this one was on cask and might have been better suited to keg! Must run now .....

Craft Clerkenwell. Clear gold beer, little white head. Light palate with mild fine carbonation. Hoppier than the pale ale, this beer has slightly resinous grapefruit and marmalade. Again a floral note. Finishes with a mellow but satisfying hoppy bitterness.

Craft Clerkenwell. Clear gold beer, little white head. Light palate, very slightly soft. Very mild carbonation. Light floralness and sweetish marmalade citrus. Neutral finish. It’s fine and went well with the Craft’s delicious spicy pork pie!

Cask handpull at Mr Foley’s, Leeds. Delicious porter, great texture, quite thick. Almost black with a light coloured head - the perfect looking pint in my opinion. Chocolate, coffee, vanilla aroma. Most enjoyable.
