Taste Notes from Head Brewer Stuart Howe
"The aroma of Doom Bar is an accomplished balance of spicy resinous hop, inviting sweet malt and delicate roasted notes. The mouth feel is a perfectly balance and complex blend of succulent dried fruit, lightly roasted malty notes and a subtle yet assertive bitterness. The bitterness remains into the finish with dry fruity notes which implore the drinker to go back for more."

Cask handpull at the brewery. Lagery gold pour with creamy white suds. Fresh green hop bite, orange-citrussy tanginess and fresh bread afters. A thicker bodied, fruitier version of Altar’s Ale. My only criticism of these crisply hoppy golden bitters CE specialise in is that drinking a range of them over an evening is like being tapped over the head ever-so-slightly-harder with the same mallet. But it’s a good mallet. |

The seahawk itself has inspired many great inventions including ships, helicopters and a campus magazine. To our American cousins there is a famous football team in Washington called 'The Seattle Seahawks!' hence the alternative name for an 'Osprey'.
For maximum taste benefits though, we recommend you stick to the Cotleigh creation. The same great tasting beer, just with a new set of feathers.

Tunnel Brewery |

TUNNEL BITTER– “LATE OTT” (4% abv)
(Light At The End Of The Tunnel )
A dark golden session bitter with a mouth-watering fruity nose. It starts soft and fruity on the palate. It soon gains a solid, slightly perfumed hop edge. The finish is beautifully dry and bitter. A beautiful beer for hop heads!
Rumour has it...
The tunnel, after which the brewery is named, was built
back in 1765 and took 2 years of blood, sweat and tears to complete. The hill,
through which it passes, has a distorted magnetic field and disrupted the compass
readings. The diggers did not meet in the middle as planned and as a consequence
two tunnels were dug. In the outcry that followed the engineer was hung from
the tunnel entrance. To this day sightings are still reported of a ghostly apparition
deep in the dark of the tunnel, for ever searching for the… LATE OTT.

| Rugby Ale |
Church End Brewery |
5% |
Named after both the town and the game, this ale is dark reddish brown in colour, with a bubbly but quickly subsiding head. The aroma is of dark roast malt, with a yeasty, worty, slightly marzipan-like character that seems to suggest a stronger beer. In the mouth it is lighter, quite malty, caramelly and even a little treacley, with a subtle sweetness that cloys to the palate. Some dark fruit notes are present, including plums and raisins. There is also a reasonable amount of bitterness, accompanied by a socky hint of hop flowers. Aftertaste is malty and soft, lingering cloyingly on the roof of the mouth. |

Sharps Brewery |

Special is the sweetest and most alcoholic of all the range. The sweetness complements most deserts and most especially those with a good measure of sugar such as treacle puddings and stewed fruits. The sweet roasted aroma also make Special perfect with creamy and rich cheeses.
Taste Notes from Head Brewer Stuart Howe
"Delicious jellied fruit aromas blend perfectly with inviting roasted notes. The mouthfeel is succulent with dried fruit, malt and delicate hop bitterness. The finish is lingering and warm with fruit and malt notes. For a strong ale Special is subtle and dangerously drinkable." |

Steaming On is a dark reddish – brown ale, with a very unusual slightly smoky flavour.
Hook Norton Managing Director James Clarke said: “The unique flavour is derived from the use of a small amount of Peated malt, which is normally reserved for whisky production. The flavour is warming and comforting without being overpowering.” Steaming On ingredients: Maris Otter Pale Ale, Brown, Peated, Enzymic malts, Fuggles Goldings and Challenger hops.
Food pairing: Steaming On is a perfect partner with game dishes, it works extremely well with stronger more robust flavours

The Brewing Team
'Originally this was called Summer Gold. It was a very good beer already but we felt we could provide the finishing touch by dry hopping using First Gold hop, which was already in the grist for bittering and late hop. The beer then tasted too good for the rather bland name Summer Gold. I can’t remember who came up with Yellowhammer but it was perfect. This rare but beautiful bird now shares its name with our most popular cask ale by far. I’m sure they don’t mind.'
Tasting Notes
Colour: brilliant gold
Aroma: a zesty pineapple and banana fruitiness, underlain by a biscuity maltiness.
Palate: tropical fruit (ripe banana) with an interplay between the biscuity malt and the fruitiness — superbly refreshing, fruity and summery.
Finish: dry and bittersweet. Not a big bitter beer.

| Zeitgeist |
Brewdog |
4.9% |
It seeks to recreate the spirit, attitude and autonomy of an age gone by. Its inspiration is found more than 200 years ago. Zeitgeist takes an age old classic, a forgotten masterpiece and gives it relevance and an avant-garde edge.
Zeitgeist encapsulates our view of contemporary society, yet simultaneously endeavours to improve it. There is too much conformity. Not enough thought, not enough individualism, not enough alternatives. Our military line ups represent conformity to a higher authority, be it political, brand, celebrity, religion or trend. The subjects in our dystopian landscape further seek to repress their identity through uniforms and masks. Yet underneath their body shapes reveal cracks of personality and individualism.
Zeitgeist is about identity, non-conformity and idiosyncrasy. It is a collective, an idea, a movement. It is about giving up ownership of itself to those who care enough to listen.
