Description
We are four friends; three kiwi’s & one Englishman, (two home brewing pairs) who in 2015 launched the ‘Roaring Four Brewing Co’ as a gypsy brewing company out of the ‘London Beer Lab’ in Brixton. In addition to brewing there, we also brewed down in Cornwall and have most recently moved production up to ‘71 Brewing’ in Dundee. We are in no way re-inventing the beer wheel, but hopefully helping in general, to strengthen the domestic beer market. In a nutshell, our M.O is to brew tasty & interesting beer that we enjoy first and foremost, and hopefully others will too. Sit back, do little, and enjoy. (Is our drinking motto)

Cloudy golden color, small head. Fruity hops, with a tropical accent, but too yeasty. Medium body strength, mild residual sweetness, the hopping is good, resinous, a bit tropical, but too yeasty, hence astringent and harsh.
Nice but too dirty.

Bottle at Pigs Ear 2016 - London. Cheers, Ken. Pours deep black-brown with a dense, creamy beige head. Loads of ashy roast in the nose, tangy dried berries, nips of cocoa. Light to medium sweet flavour with further ashy roast, lots of bitter dark chocolate, scorched earth, faint minerality. Medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Bitter dark chocolate in the finish, more ashy roast, dried and leathery berries. Well rounded, assertive. Solid.

Bottle at Pigs Ear - cheers Ken. It pours black with a thick tan head. The aroma is earthy roast, toasty, manure, cocoa, woody action and unami and dirt. The taste is smooth, toasty, roasted malt, quite rich, charred wood, powdered chocolate, mind alcohol, spice, slightly burnt, mild astringency and coffee grounds with a drying finish. Full body and moderate carbonation. Quite all-right.

330mL bottle, pours a cloudy, yeasty dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is very yeasty and muddy, with dank and earthy hops, and a huge yeast soup. Flavour is likewise a yeast soup, with lots of earthy hops, tropical fruits, and muddy yeast. Smells worse than it tastes in the yeast department, but it still doesn't taste great. Lots wrong with this.
