About
Proudly Brewed in Yorkshire since 1999

The award-winning Salamander beers was founded in 1999. Dr Daniel Gent (a doctor of brewing and one of Salamander's founders) mission was to bring high quality independently brewed beer to the masses. To this day Salamander continues to surprise and delight its many customers.

And we haven’t lost our touch for beer either.

Brewing ceased in early 2019 and restarted in late Summer 2021.

St Stephen's Stout from Salamander
16 years ago
6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Cask, handpump at the Dragon Inn, Worcester 12-12-09 Pours black or as near black as I can tell in this slightly dim light, there is an off-white filmy head and a rim of small bubbles around the edge. Light roasty notes & touch nutty on nose nut there is a very slight chemical taint, maybe washing up liquid? The taste is much like the aroma nutty and roasty. This is a tasty stout but one half was enough before I fancied trying something different. A6 A4 F7 P4 Ov13 3.4
