Cold filtered and nitro-kegged. Also available in bottles at 5.0% ABV. A jewel in our crown. Officially “The Best Stout in the World”. AGAIN!! Look for the Gold Medal on the wall in Temple Bar. Technically a Porter, (a lighter stout) a smooth edged velvety mouthful just a hint of bitterness with no sourness - deeply aromatic but not overpowering. Immortal.

Red Rose + Pomegranate + Barrel-Aged We were delighted to have been paired up with Side Project Brewing from Missouri for the Rainbow Project 2018. Our allocated inspirational colour for this year was Red! We decided to bring our shared ethos of wild yeast and barrel aging together, culminating in a transcontinental sour Saison. With 6 months in barrel and 6 months in bottle, the wild yeasts from Westcombe Somerset, & Missouri USA have run riot building complexity and flavour development. The wild yeasts of Missouri, wrangled by Cory and Side Project, have been flown to us to mingle with the Somerset beasties for a transcontinental co-fermented, barrel aged sour Saison. Brewed without hops we have incorporated the colour red with the additions of pomegranate and rose petals.

Its natural freshness will make you blush for joy. Its flavour is all cherry, as is already apparent from its very powerful nose. Its acidity is neutralised by its agreeably sweet and fruity bouquet. Its taste pervades the mouth and lingers gently, elegantly tinted with summer cherries.?

Lehe Pruulikoda

Keila, Harjumaa

The English Mastiff is a big dog, who is in no hurry. It is hard to come by to see him just running around. Barleywine with aristocratic roots also needs time, time for both the maturity and the enjoyment. A decent Barleywine is completed in many years, if not in decades. To enjoy this wine, it is enough if you can find one free night, a glass of port wine and a nice fireplace with fire. Big fat Mastiff is an English Barleywine, which actual nature is born over the years. This beer, brewed in 2014, is matured for one year only and, therefore, the master brewer believes that the best days lie ahead. At the age of one, just a tiny part of the whole brew will reach the stores; the majority will remain in a safe place to wait for a better time.
