Description
Founded in June 1999, in Milton, a village on the outskirts of Cambridge. In July 2012, Milton Brewery moved premises to the neighbouring village of Waterbeach, securing the future of the brewery, providing much needed expansion and allowing for further growth.

The Milton brewery is a traditional English Ale brewery, albeit lurking in the cunning disguise of a 1980s industrial unit. We take the finest English Maris Otter malted barley, high quality whole hops and local brewing water to produce our award-winning ales.

Aroma of fruits malts, apricot, bitter grape
Taste of light sweet malt, bitter frain, bitter herbal, paracetamol, really not drinkable at all
Palate - Light body, very very bitter. Finish is very dry, very bitter malt grain, metallic paracetamol
Overall - Should have been better even though it was the โ€™end of the barrelโ€™

Keg tap at the Maypole, Cambridge. I heard Milton were expanding into keg, so I jumped at the chance to try this. Amber with a small but handsome white head. Peach, passion fruit, papaya with cinnamon and gentle tea leaves in the nose. Taste is bitter, a bit harsh and messy. Intense tannin in the finish. Way-too-strong tea and some bitter fruit in the unrelenting aftertaste. Needs work. Drinkable and even enjoyable but I like more finesse from my mid- to high-strength beers.

Cask at the Pembury Tavern - London. Pours deep brown with a creamy, beige head. Good milk chocolate aroma, some roast, earth. Medium sweet flavour with really tasty well toasted bread, baking cocoa, more earthy bitterness, bent caramel, toasted biscuits. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; great condition. Very well balanced on the finish, with a really rich and rounded hi plate malt character, more toasty biscuit, subtly scorched earth, faint leather. Excellent mid-ABV cask stout.

Cask @ Coach & Horses, Shrewsbury. Pours clear gold, thin white head. Aroma bears malty hallmarks. Taste continues, not a lot in terms of hops, but the bready, grainy malts are there for those who want it.

Nice chocolate malt profile but a bit boring.
