Thomas Hardy's Ale (11.7%): "Best beer in the World" (Off-licence News International Challenge 2006)
A potent and fruity nose. Almost no head whatsoever. Plums, dates, raisins, malty, semi sweet. Brandyish. Wonderful warming velvety mouthfeel with a long-lasting finish.
A unique achievement with a special place in English brewing history. Strong in alcohol and powerfully hopped, it doesn't spoil with time and careful storage, but can be kept for at least 25 years, growing in character as the flavours blend and develop into mature masterpieces in miniature.
Wheat Beer (4.0%): Crisp, refreshing, and deliciously citrus-tinted with a hint of spice, it’s a flavour that cuts the biggest thirst down to size. Made from only hand selected, traditionally prepared, floor-malted, riband wheat from rolling chalk downs of Wiltshire, this is a truly classic beer.
Original Port Stout (4.5%): Roast Barley, warm vinous undertone Palate Full flavour, dark, liquorice finish using aroma hops Styrian Goldings Guardian/CAMRA Champion bottle-conditioned Beer of Britain 2003 This honour arrives hard on the heels of a Silver Medal in the 2002 WORLD BEER CUP at the first time of entry.
Royal Oak (5.0%): Within months of its return in 2004, this great ale has won Gold in the The International Brewing Industry Awards' fiercely competitive bottled ales 4.2-5.1% abv class |
