About
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.

Half- pint, cask at The Lamb, the classic Young’s pub in Bloomsbury. Very dark body with a deep ruby tint. Tiny off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts, wood and dried fruits. Pretty similar taste profile containing resinous hops, wood, earthy malts and bittersweet, dark chocolate to the ending. Nice (London, 26.11.2012).

Half-pint, shared with Finn, from gravicask. Close to clear golden body. Naked surface. Sweaty hops with hints of fresh citrus to the nose. Hoppy vibe to the taste profile with resin, wheat and spiced fruits. Bittersweet tail. Refreshing (Redhill Beer Festival, 02.11.2012).

On tap @ the Haymarket. Pours a light toffee colour with a nicely proportioned head. The nose has apples, toffee and ginger. The taste is of creamy toffee and butterscotch. The palate is medium bodied and rich textured with a decent finish.

50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. Polished magohany in colour with a rapidly fading cream head; roasted malt aroma with a touch of chocolate; tastes of well-done toast coated with chocolate spread - sweet at times, but balanced by the toastiness; then more sweet dark chocolate to finish. Very pleasant.

GBBF. Light haze on this gold beer. Tidy white head. Light dry palate. A little honey in the somewhat insipid citrus. Mild dry finish. Dull.

25cl from tap at Vulkan ølfestival. Dark brown with a reddish hue and a beige head. Malty aroma with some roasty notes and dark dried fruits. Lightly roasty and fruity with a caramel flavour and a lightly bitter finish. Fairly thin and slightly watery. Easy to drink, but a bit weak. Pleasant porter.
