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
