Description

It’s safe to say that we like beer. In fact we like beer so much that we started our own brewery and it’s an employment requirement that everyone who joins our team is also passionate about beer. Obviously we’re a business so we have to make a profit each year so we can carry on working in the industry we love. We do that by making the best beer that we can.

Gravity dispense at CPBF, 2013. It pours deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is roasted malt, toast, honey, cherry, blackcurrant, cocoa and faint liquorice. The taste is roasted malt, earth, bitter-sweet, dark fruit, chocolate, honey, caramel, pleasant bitterness, faint tang, berry jam and toast with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Solid porter.

Cask/GD at the 14th Egham Beer Festival at the EUSC, 28/03/13. Lightly hazed golden amber with a thin bubbly white head that retains well. Nose is pale malts, juicy citrus, sugary orange squash. Taste comprises candied sugars, ripe orange, a vague hint of honey. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry in the finale. A little over sweet but OK - nowt spesh - assume the grand ’W’ !

Cask at Pigs Ear BF 2012, London. Pours clear, rich brown with a moderate, beige foam head. Dark, toasty bread nose. Medium sweet flavor with surprisingly strong coffee character, light earthy bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately toasty finish with more coffee and toasted sugars. Good stuff.

Cask at Egham United Services Club Summer Beer Festival 2012. A black coloured pour with a medium beige head on top. Sweet, roasty, chocolate aroma. Tastes sweet, dark fruit, some chocolate and a definite hint of honey in there. Smooth and easy drinking porter. Delicious.

Gravity Dispense at Pig’s Ear BF, London - 05/12/12. Very dark mahogony brown, approaching black, with a thin tan head that clings to the edge of the glass and forms a film atop. Nose is roast malt, dark toffee, light chocolate, touch of spice. Taste comprises light coffee, dark roast malts, touch of chocolate, light spice. Medium body, soft carbonation, smooth on the palate. Decent porter!
