Description
After a great reception from his hobby as an enthusiastic amateur brewer, Toby Mackenzie and his wife Caroline decided to expand and go full time establishing the award winning Red Willow brewery in 2010. Their aim was to make the types of beer that they like - full of flavour yet easy to drink. Red Willow now offer a range of beers that can be found in many local pubs and shops in cask

Cask @ The Rake, London. Dark brown body with a nice, dense beige head. Pleasant aroma of smoked malt. Flavor is light roasted malt, smoke, coffee, bittersweet chocolate and moderate but pleasant bitterness. Fine body and a pleasant aftertaste of soft, smokes malt. A pleasant beer with a rich flavor and high drink ability at the same time.

Cask at Cask Pub and Kitchen, Pimlico, London. An amber coloured pour with a small white head on top. Hoppy, citrus fruit aroma. Tastes hoppy, malty, tropical fruit, citrus fruit. Quite different to any other beer that I have tried. Interesting stuff.

Cask at the Euston Tap, London. Pours clear, red-brown with a tight beige foam. Tangy dark malt nose, some toast. Medium sweet flavor with lots of toasty malts, slight lacto sweetness, toasty sugars, tangy earth, faint smoke, dirt. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Medium sweet on the finish with toast, tangy earth, faint smoke. Seems a bit tangy, in an odd, earthy way. Some mild smoke lasts. This might not be optimal condition. (3.3)

Cask at the Reading Beer Festival 2012. Pours red-brown with a light, tan foam head. Good snout, nice smokey malts. Medium to big sweet flavor with ncie smoke and ham, light honey. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly sticky, with lasting honey-cured ham, restrained smoke, light roast. Very nice beer. Well rounded. Solid. (4.1)

Cask at the Euston Tap, London. Pours clear yellow with an outrageously tight, white foam head. Nose holds plenty of sweet dough, zesty lemon and straw. Medium sweet flavor with white sugar, dough, dry straw, mild biscuits. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly drey, doughy with some crunchy hay. Basic though very pleasant.

Cask at the Grove Inn, Huddersfield. It pours jet black, with a thick beige head. The nose is salted liquorice, smoke, wood and bitter chocolate. The taste is roasted malt, milk chocolate, salt, charcoal, touch of tangy dark fruit, with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Smooth and well balanced. Great stuff.
