About
Started brewing in May 2007. A 5BBL plant was used and was based at Station Approach, Harwich. In mid-2018, the brewery ceased brewing on it's own site and started operating as a cuckoo brewer based at the Red Fox Brewery in Colchester.

In 2023 a combined brewery with the Witham brewery was established which will be known as Wharf Brewery Ltd.

Cask at the pigs ear festival... Copper brown.. Thin tan lacing... Soft sulphur eggy nose... Soft sweet berries fruit.. Soft eggy linger... I think behind the sulphur tines is an ok fruity beer. But the sulphur doesn’t work for me

Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival in KEGS! Clear dark brown beer, little pale tan suddy head. Palate is light and a little dry. Tangy sweetness under slightly watery malt. Turns sweeter with mild candy fruits. Mild minerals. Light semi dry finish. Not bad, interesting flavours but the body is somewhat hollow.

Bottle thanks to Leighton at his pre-xmas extravaganza. It pours very dark brown, with a thin tan film. The nose is sweet fruit, sour tang, roasted malt and wood. The taste is caramel, big sour tang, dark chocolate, dark dried fruit (currants, raisin etc), roasted malt and wood, with a dry finish. Medium body and low carbonation. Not great.

Bottle at home in London. Aged about a year. Pours dark brown with a thick, foamy beige head. Rich dark malt aroma with some roast and dark chocolate. Medium sweet flavor, light roasted malts, slight tang, some ash. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Fairly thin to finish, mild sweetness, light burnt earth bitterness, tangy dark malts, some ashy wood. Nothing special here.
