Description
Mantle Brewery started brewing on its 10 Barrel brew plant in August 2013. The first ever cask out of the cold room, a cask of Cwrw Teifi went straight to the Eagle Inn in Cardigan on September 1st 2013, our nearest pub. T’was a day to remember.

The brewery was founded by Ian & Domi Kimber, and together with Owen, Adam, Aled & Ian B, we brew great beer. The same care and attention goes into each and every brew, each and every step in the process, each and every cask, keg and bottle.

Bottle shared by Grumbo. Aroma is very buttery, wet grain, grainy, caramel and citrus. Very sweet, decent body. Slight bitterness, but not real a style I like.

Bottle shared by Grumbo. Aroma is piney, fruity, malt loaf and dried fruit. Sweet taste and developing bitterness. Not for me.

Panda at home, thanks to Graham Grumbo, 13/11/24. Chestnut brown topped with a beige cap that dissipates into a spiders web swirl. Nose is dusty fruit esters, toffee, dark malts, biscuit, herb, hedgerow. Taste comprises brown bread, toffee, malt loaf, dried fruit rinds, herb. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Not bad if no wow.

Bottle. Color: Clear amber, off-white head. Aroma: Caramel malt. Taste: Caramel malt, lightly sugary, floral hop backbone, hints of citrus fruit. Don't know exactly what's continental about this beer, but it's quite nice overall.
