Description
We are George and Tom Jenkinson, brothers and directors of our family run brewery. Founded in 1980 by our father and mother, Richard and Lesley Jenkinson, we remain the oldest independent brewery in the Chiltern Hills and Buckinghamshire.

Located on an old working farm in the heart of the Chiltern Hills, the emphasis has always been to produce natural, wholesome beers using the best, class A malt and hops sourced in England. Our brewing process mirrors age-old methods and our beers are brewed with skill, passion and integrity. We have always been proud to support British farmers and all of our ingredients have a good provenance.

Bottle picked up from the brewery. Consumed at home Sunday 27th January 2019 whilst cooking the Guardian perfect Fish Pie. Pours black with a beige head, fruity and spicy, soft in the mouth. A little dusty chocolate, boozy, it's good however it's not great. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Bottle picked up at the brewery and consumed at home Thursday 24th January 2019. Pours black with a beige head. At first I pick up a little dusty furniture, a nice softness (carbonation) and a touch of lactose which surprised me. The chocolate was noticeable and yet it's not too chocolatey. I am surprised by this, it's a good beer, I liked it but it is not in the same vein as a modern Impy Stout but I rather like it for that. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

500ml bottle from Chiltern Brewery. Gluten Free. Golden colour, white foam head leaving alittle lacing and citrusy grainy aroma. Taste is malt, grain, some biscuit with fruity tangy citric hop bitterness. Light bodied, soft to medium carbonation, dry tangy metallic bitter finish. Quite OK

Dark brown. Aroma is cherry ice cream, dark chocolate, some wood, strawberry as well, lacto maybe. Taste is a little sour cherry, somehow dusty, some red wine fruitiness. Still a bit off. Interesting but doesn't turn my knobs.

Green bottle. Dark brown, ancient looking head. Sour musty basement smell. Spicy old cherry-or-wine flavor, this tastes like a beer that has been sitting in Pop-pop's Keller for 30 years. Really interesting but I could see many people not liking this. I could definitely drink a half bottle of it.

Bottle, many thanks to Fin & Loz! Dark brown color with beige head. Aroma is dry wood, almost dusty, nutty, light booze, moldy cellar. Taste is lightly fruity, with a sour edge, chocolate, moldy cellar. Oily mouthfeel with natural carbonation. Very British, very old school, very decent!
