About
Brewed in the heart of Sussex, East Hoathly
So why The 1648 Brewing Company? The answer is on the decree in the Houses of Parliament, with Oliver Cromwell’s signature on it to remove the King’s Head. The beer is brewed in the Old Stables and village forge just next to the Kings Head Pub where three Ales are always available from the brewery .

500ml Bottle conditioned: poured into a UK pint sleeve on 30 Apr 2013, some three months before it’s BBD. Lovely mahogany red/brown body with a huge tanned head, couldn’t get all the bottle into the glass in fact, because of it’s size. Roasted, toasted almost burnt maltiness in the nose and taste, what a cracking beer. The beer gets sweeter as it warms in the glass but it still retains the dark, bitterness from those slightly over roasted malts and the finish reminds you some good quality hops have been used to ensure the dry aftertaste hangs around for a long time. This is my sort of beer: malty, interesting and full of dark secrets, you can stuff your golden citrus flavoured UK beers, this is a proper brew!

Cask at the White Rocks Hotel, Hastings. Chestnut in colour with a thin scummy cream head, that laces the glass nicely; malty aroma; soft, caramel malt flavour with a thin body and a dry fhish. Rather lacking in body.

Cask at the Cleveland Arms, London. Pours clear gold with a light, white foam. Doughy malts throughout, some white sugar, mellow citrus, faint straw bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet finish with some light, dry hay and sugary dough. Basic, tasty.

Bottle from Beers Of Europe, King’s Lynn
Golden color, with persistent perlage and generous head. Light aroma of Brett, probably not intended. Dry mouthfeel, again with some astringency and sourness; quite strong bitterness; the infection is mild and the result is drinkable; still, it’s flawed.

Pigs Ear. Clear dark brown beer. Dry palate particularly the finish which is very dry. Otherwise well balanced dark malt and tangy dark orange and plums. Not too bitter.

On tap somewhere in London! Clear dark brown beer. Softish semi dry palate. Repressed sour malt. Some light but zingy citrus hops. Semi sweet orange and pineapple blends well with a light touch of ginger. All hangs together very well.

Bottle. Huge creamy head with excellent duration. Color is dark brown. Aroma and taste are roast malt, nuts, spices, fruits, berries,c aramel and hops. If it wasnt for the label I would have expected this to be the winter warrant.

Cask at The Hope, Carshalton. It pours deep brown, with a thin off-white head. The nose is smoke, smoked ham, Bisto gravy, and starch. The taste is roasted malt, touch of smoke, charcoal and caramel, with a very dry finish. Thin body and soft carbonation. Too thin and dry, tough to drink much of.
