| Hogan Sampling |  | 24 Jan 2026 | 2nd beer of this visit: This Hampshire English strong bitter from Four Marks-based independent brewery, south-west of Alton, set up in 1997, was recommended by my fellow real ale enthusiast who had sampled theirs whilst I was sampling the earlier Iron Pier Joined at the Hop pale. Very good head and lacing and almost lasting to the end on this dark copper-coloured ale. A very bitter first bite. A sherry-infused, dark-fruited berry flavouring rapidly rising with hints of elderflower. Brewed with Styrian Wolf hops, it exhibited spicy notes of cinnamon and cloves. A moreish maltiness paddling out with flavours of biscuit and toffee. Its warming and sweet blend of malts includes Maris Otter and Cara Gold. In fine condition and perhaps greatly more flavoured in reflecting its strong gravity. |
