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.

12/7/2024. Cask at the 33rd Ealing Beer Festival. Pours clear golden with a small bubbly frothy white head. Aroma is fruity, citrus, stone fruits, malt, passionfruit. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness and body. Slightly oily, average carbonation. Drying bittersweet finish. Enjoyable.

Cask handpull at Nelson Arms Tonbridge . Black beer lasting beige head. First half out of the cask. Some chocolate some coffee some liquorice. Supposed to be a dry stout. But it's quite juicy. Some blackcurrant blackberry flavour. Juicy finish. Not very dry. OK

Cask handpull at Nelson Arms Tonbridge . Clear gold colour lasting white head. Citrus aroma. It's an interesting beer. .I guess how Dark Star APA used to taste. Definitely distinctive. Good grapefruit lemon. Slightly earthy. Cascade hops I guess. Good hoppy dry bitter finish cracking condition. Loved it.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours almost black with minimal tan head and good lacing. There’s roasted malts and fudge in the aroma. In the mouth it starts off pretty sweet with flavour of olde English spangles (aniseed and humbug mainly) plus roasted malts and treacle. Later on there is some liquorice and hints of dark fruits, leading to a slightly bitter and spicy finish. This is rather nice !
