About
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.

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7
Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Light mahogany, slightly translucent with a large and slightly loose off-white head. Chocolate malt and touches of stone fruit in the surprisingly muted aroma. It's delicious though: a cherry sweetness persists in the initial taste, followed with some astringent but not over-heavy bitterness. The bitterness is pronounced in the long finish with some stone fruit. Soft carbonation. Nice.

Cask at Lych Gate, Wolverhampton Pours a dark reddish brown with a small tan head and good lacing. Vanilla and roasted malts in the nose. Gentle carbonation in the mouth, bringing dark fruits to the fore, with hints of toffee and malts. Finish is bitter and fruity. Rather nice.

Bottle from a stall at St Dogmaels Local Producer's Market, Pembrokeshire. Dark brown-black with a beige head and a gentle fizz. Fruity, with freshly creosoted wood, chocolate, leather and a mild roastiness. Decent.

500ml bottle: BB Sep 19. Drank at home on 23rd May 19. Ruby red body, tanned foam on top. Roasted malty nose and initial taste, some spiciness and semi-sweet malty molasses arrive flavour wise. Nice.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Reddish golden brown, clear with a thick white head. Light aroma bordering on the nonexistant: caramel, honey, sourdough. Taste, by contrast, is ambrosial: the initial sweet and malty hit is drowned out by lush medicinal hop. Fruity astringency in the finish. Tiny bit of natural carbonation lifts the body. This is surprisingly nice, a very traditional cask beer with lots of personality.

Gravicask, shared with Finn at the 24th Carmarthen Beer Festival. Covering bubbly white head, dotted sots on the glass, clear warm golden body. Moderate smell of grassy hops with a citric note. Mild taste profile of grass, ripe citrus and grainy malts. Has got a bittersweet tail. Okay. (04.10.2018).
