Cookie Dough – ABV 7.4%
White Stout. The inspiration here was to recreate the sweet vanilla goodness of classic cookie dough, with chocolate chips for good measure! Rum barrel aged coffee adds a unique nuttiness and depth of flavour, while lactose, oats and wheat develop the smooth mouthfeel.
Stout – ABV 7.0%
Very dark, coffee, stewed fruits, dark chocolate. Big roast and acidity, very rich. It’s sexier than velvet.
Big Hole In’t Road – ABV 8.5%
With lashings of liquorice, dark chocolate and treacle, this is a superb Stout.
It pours road tar black, thick and unctuous, and smells of window putty and prunes.
Taking a mouthful is plunging yourself into the depths of a big black Beery hole, fathoms of flavour bounce around your head, aniseed and tamarind to toffee, coffee and honey, burned wholemeal toast, coal tar soap and bitter chocolate.
There’s some much needed hazel leaf and bracken pithy hedgerow hopping that adds a splash of brightness, but altogether this is a beer about the darker side of drinking, a beer to sink into
Cher & Choco – ABV 10.0%
Fôret Noir imperial stout.
Still Not Found What You’re Looking For? – ABV 8.0%
This Oat Stout has traveled over the highest mountains as well as through the fields, only to be with you… only to be with you.
Whiskey Imperial Stout – ABV 7.4%
BB date May 2018 but is ageing niceley!
English pale and roasted malts give a rich, full body to this strong stout. The alcohol and high final gravity create a sweetness balanced with the bitterness the high alpha English Admiral hops. Dark chocolate, coffee, black treacle and hints of Bourbon Oak.
Unfined, naturally hazy, and suitable for vegans.
Obsidian – ABV 8.0%
Blueberry Stout – Deep, dark and complex… Chocolate, caramel and roasted grains play off the fruit to reveal a dessert-like character of a blueberry muffin.
Matryoshka Doll – ABV 7.0%
Baltic porter – black liquorice inside a velvety sweet swath inside a dark thick cloud of luscious hops.
Odyssey 008 – ABV 8.7%
The idea for this beer was to create a blend inspired by dark Belgian wood-aged sour beers, based on the character of a few unique and long-term aged beers in the barrel store. The barrel-aged beers were selected for their aroma and acidity. After blending the beer was returned to barrels for another 3 months (in red wine barrels which part of the original blend was drawn, plus some bourbon barrels which previously housed Acid Jam). A small addition of seasonal British fruit was added to some of the barrels. The fruit additions total ~75g/L in the overall blend, consisting of 40% cherries and 60% blackcurrants.
The resulting beer has a gorgeous oak character with prominent red wine tannin influence, bramble & berries and a fruity acidity on the palate. Of course there’s a complexity too, and our tasting notes pick up floral notes, almonds, umami and a delicate funkiness the brettanomyces.
