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.

Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern March BF 2007. Copper colour with lasting thick beige head. Malty, but well balanced hop which helps. I like it. Simple, but balanced and drinkable.

Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern March BF 2007. Gold colour with bubbly white head. Diacetyl, toffee, butter aroma. OK in mouth, but whole thing is spoilt by diacetyl. Bit earthy hop on end.

Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern, Hackney. Black with tan head. This barrel came on on 20th January. Intense roasted malt aroma, charcoal. The most light and agile imperial stout type beer I’ve had. Great intensity. Very tasty. Very dark bitter choc like Green and Blacks dark choc, intense bitter dark choc. Bit of velvet. Very intense balanced smooth dry wonderful. One of my favourite British beers.

Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern, Hackney. Very deep ruby colour with thin deep beige ehad. Some nice choc, some sourness on aroma. Like a choccy old ale. Sourness is nice. Heavenly beer, like Goachers Old. Superb complexity. More grainy. Some sour dark cherry, dark choc. Dryish finish. Superb, bit of alcohol heat. Re-rate 14/03/2007 4.1/5 Oily, good intensity, some dark fruit. Tart on end, oily and a bit of leather, very dry. Alcohol presence on end

Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern, Hackney. Amber colour with bubbly beige head. Some hop, bit of staleness, but is soon fades (was actually towards end of barrel, went off soon afterwards). Whisky malt in mouth, similar in flavour to the Sparta, nice tangerine. Good strong bitter, dryish finish. Another well made beer from Milton

Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern, Hackney. Black colour with lasting tan head. Subtle roasty/toasty aroma. Quite chewy in mouth, some sourness, liquorice. Quite a harsh stout. Very interesting though. Nice but not my stout of choice.

Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern, Hackney. Copper/gold colour with disappearing off white head. Grassy hoppy aroma, some tangerine fruit in mouth, suppable citrusy orangey beer, some juicy malt. Finish is very pleasant, not harsh, just tingly and satisfying.

Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern, Hackney. Very dark brown colour with lasting tan head. Lovely burnt malt aroma, chocolate is great. Lovely mild roastiness in mouth. Some thinness in mouth (it is only 3.3%), but stunning roasted finish.
