| Hogan Sampling |  | 22 Nov 2025 | 4th beer of the visit: Very good head and lacing and lasting on this Essex-brewed bitter from north-west of Colchester at Wakes Colne. A very malty biscuity first hit. A red-fruited hoppy bitterness rising with a subtle dry spiciness. Care of its crystal rye, a liquorice toffee flavouring and used sparingly as here for a dark beer. A fragrant hoppy bitterness paddling out. |
