Description
2005 saw the acquisition of Jennings Brewery by Marston’s PLC.
In 2009, the Cockermouth floods had a huge impact on the business and the site, forcing Marston’s to implement flood safety features and barricades throughout the site. A few short years after the floods, brewing transferred out of the town and a mass rebrand occurred.
Marston's retrained ownership of the brewery (through Carlsberg UK) until it closed its doors in November 2022

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of berries. The flavor is sweet with notes of berries, toffee, malt, and spices - especially cardamom comes thru. But the body is thin.

500ml bottle from Morrison’s. Brown/chestnut colour with thin beige head. Good malt hop aroma. The hops in fact are really quite intense. Red/black fruits in the mix there with some toffee as well. Touch of yeast too. Good nose, not too hot in the middle and then this aggressive hop finish. Fine. Would probably have the cask version if I saw it.

500ml bottle. Golden beer, whit head. Nice slightly yeasty creamy aroma, cut grass. Good brisk bittery hops, some citrus then drying finish. For a golden beer, bitterness dominates than the normal citrus flavours. Not a lot of fruit but extremely bitter. Not bad at all and would like to try the cask version.
