Elusive – Shadow of the Beast

Black IPA

Burghfest Heritage Brew

Burghfest Winner
Shadow of the Beast is an Elusive classic! Roasted wheat malt gives it a dark appearance and moderately roasty malt profile. We then add Citra and Mosaic hops across six additions to layer in a lovely citrus-forward hop profile. The malts play really nicely with the hops in this one! Elusive Brewing Company, Finchampstead, Berkshire.

"Bingham's Vanilla Stout", Burghfest Winner
Champion Beer of Britain in 2016, Bingham's Vanilla Stout also won the far more prestigious award at Burghfest. It is rich and delicious with a complex malt bill to layer notes of creamy chocolate and Madagascan pods to add plenty of comforting vanilla. This is not the greatest beer in the world, no, this is just a tribute to it. Elusive Brewing Company, Finchampstead, Berkshire.

Flower Pots – Cheriton Porter

Porter

ABV 4.2%

Dark

For three years now, it has been voted by SIBA as Winner of Cask Session Dark Beer.  A complex grain bill of dark malts and traditional British hops create an easy drinking classic Porter.  With a creamy coffee aroma and roasted chocolate maltiness, a hint of sweetness shines through to provide a dry finish. The Flower Pots Brewery, Cheriton, Hampshire.

Burghfest Heritage Brew

Burghfest Winner
We were very disappointed at how quickly this sold out at the last two Burghfests. It's really very good. Brewed in the classic 1850 London style, it has plenty of chocolate and coffee, complimented by a subtle bitterness and smooth finish. Indigenous Brewery, Chaddleworth, Newbury.

Siren Craft – Broken Dream

Breakfast Stout

ABV 6.5%

Dark

Burghfest Heritage Brew

Burghfest Winner
Coincidentally won Burghfest and Supreme Champion Beer of Britain in 2018. An indulgence of chocolate and speciality malts, it is smooth, unctuous and moreish, brewed with milk sugar for balance and mouthfeel, along with espresso from London's Climpson and Sons. Siren Craft Brew, Finchampstead, Berkshire.

Triple fff – Pressed Rat and Warthog

Dark Mild

ABV 3.8% Vg

Dark

Ruby coloured, with coffee and chocolate aroma; hints of dried fruits and sour cherry leads to a soft, yet full roast flavour. Fruit and malt vying with the rounded hoppy bittersweet finish. Moreish and satisfying for both mild fanatics and bitter lovers too. Triple fff Brewery, Alton, Hampshire.
