Description
Duncan Sambrook founded Sambrook’s Brewery in 2008 when there were just five breweries operating in London. With his vision of bringing brewing back into the heart of London, Duncan pulled ex-brewer David Welsh out of retirement and back into his dungarees and wellies. To

Since 2008 we have been brewing beer in Battersea, but after 12 years on our current site we have decided to relocate a mile up the road to Wandsworth Town. Later in 2020 we will be brewing beer on the site of the Ram Brewery where we will launch our new tap room and visitor centre.

I love me a good brown ale... and this is a good brown ale. The lighter side of mid-brown, translucent/clear with a tiny spotty ring of iff-white head. Lovely aroma, dark caramel, oak, a little vinous note. Sweet taste, more of that intense oaky character. Sarsaparilla. And here comes an intense mid-sip bitter, only to switch to sweet again for the finish. Light body with almost no carbonation. Never been too impressed by Sambrooks but my goodness this is a masterstroke.

Pours a clear chestnut brown colour with a small, mostly lasting, foamy beige head. Aroma is light roasted malts and a hint of chocolate. A moderately sweet and light roasted taste, lightly roasted malt, some grainy flavours and a hint of smoke in a light drying finish. Ordinary.

Half pint, cask ale, shared with Finn at Shakespeares Head. Wetherspoon Beer Festival, March 24. Clear, warm golden body under a filmy layer, clingy lacing. Moderate aromas of herbal hops and grainy malts. Malt-fruity flavours, impacts of citrus and cereal malts. A distant piney twist towards the finish. Decent. (London, 16.03.2024).

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A straw coloured pour with a ring of white head; yeasty aroma; dry in the mouth with a fruity yeast taste and a grainy body; then a gently building bitterness before a dry lip-smacking finish. Reminds me of a Belgian blonde.
