About
Inspired by the Wiltshire landscape surrounding us, we work towards being the most sustainable brewery that we can be. Most importantly, when we began and with the right tools in our hands, we knew that we could create a mighty fine pint. A small team then set about with a vision for handcrafting ales from plough to pint. Using barley from our fields and chalk-filtered water from our own source, we’re bigger and bolder than we were then, but with the same knowledge that nothing quite beats the taste of a decidedly good pint after a long day.

(Cask at Angleterre, 20120511) The beer poured black. Its head was small, dense and long lasting. Aroma had roasted malts and coffee. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were roasted malts, burnt malts, coffee, hops and malts. Aftertaste was roasty, burnt and bitter. Good aroma but too burnt taste.

Cask @ Salhojankadun Pub as ”25 Silver Pigs Stout”
Aroma is light with some roasted malt, hings of dark chocolate and coffee. Flavour is rather dry with roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, some coca-cola, hints of ash and peat. Bitter finish with well-roasted malt. Very good and rich with high roastiness level.

Cask conditioned at Reading BF 2012. Black beer lasting beige head. Roasty coffee. Its a bit overly roasted but pretty pleasant. Actually it settlez down into a nutty coffee beer which is quite pleasant and has some good lasting finish and drinkability. Pretty good.
