Philip Pirrip		11 Oct 2026	Strong yes but poured flat with no condition at all. A case of what could have been
Hogan Sampling		11 Oct 2026	2nd beer of this visit: Second day on and head and lacing lasting on its serving but did not last the course on this seasonal Sussex old ale from a brewing engine fired up in late 2019, having first hatched inside a humble garden shed in 2018, and now boiling the copper on a working farm nestled among the rolling fields and ancient woods of Blackboys, near Uckfield in East Sussex. A dry hoppy first hit on this ink-dark pour, crowned with a thick foam standing proud like a chimney sweep's best cap. A very berry-infused flavouring rising from its fruity hoppiness from all-English Bramling Cross behind a sharp hint of wild briar and Goldings aiding a honeyed spicy undercurrent. My smelling-peeper noting hedgerow berries entangled with whispers of woodsmoke. A malty sweetness joining in from an alliance of British Maris Otter behind its bready base, toasted Crystal exuding sweet, molten toffee, and roasted Chocolate malts emitting a smoky crustiness. A hint of charred biscuit for me. Served in not the best of nick for only its second day on as without much conditioning methinks.
