In this new world of sustainability and with a focus on the environment Monty’s is driving towards a more sustainable process. In the brewery we heat the water for each brew from the previous brew through plate heat exchangers, all helping to keep our carbon footprint down as much as we can. We don’t use any plastic in our packaging, and our waste grain, feeds local cattle, our first and last beer run-ins which would be a waste product are fed to a herd of Welsh Wagyu.

Golden amber with a big frothy off white head and sweet malt and marmalade on the nose. Medium bodied, sweet, malty and fruity with a slug of warming alcohol, just a hint of spicy fruit cake and a slightly dry finish

Cask @ Cromwell's Tap House. Pours a hazed amber, off-white head. Aroma is general amber malt, perhaps a gentle hop sweetness. Flavour profile brings a very mild but noticeable hop influence, giving a nod towards it's Red IPA aspirations but not quite getting there. It's a malt-led beer at heart, with a firm bitterness, but falls a little short of the mark.

Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford. Pours a golden amber with a medium sized off-white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma – just some hints of malts. In the mouth it is basically sweet, but with a slight underlying bitterness. Flavour has malts and honey with some grains and hints of corn, ginger and spices. After a while you realise it is quite watery though. There is a dry finish. It’s reasonable.

33cl bottle, courtesy of SarkyNorthener, pours with a nice deep dark chocolate colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up chocolate heading quickly to milk chocolate and then thin ribbons of dark roasted malts and spicy black licorice. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of dark chocolate, dark roasted malts and some softer milk chocolate. To midway it picks up a wafer thin layer of sweet dark fruity esters and a bit of spicy black licorice. This is smooth with the right amount of depth and richness. Solid offering.

500ml bottle from, I think, Appleyard's. Pours a deep russet brown, good off-white head. Aroma is centred around lightly caramelised amber malt. Flavour profile presents pleasant toffee shades alongside soft crystal malt and nutty brown bread. Would accompany Christmas dinner well I think.

Cask at the Ship and Castle, Aberystwyth. Poured a mostly clear dark brown colour with a short-lived, frothy light tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, light chocolate. The flavour is moderate to light sweet, with a smooth, somewhat light, roasty malt, earthy, liqourice bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.
