A truly classic combination, chocolate and orange come together in this treat of a stout. Expect a roasty toasty background, with layers of silky smooth sweetness and a subtle, zesty twist of citrus fruit.
A premium ale to commemorate the year 1965 when the Black Eagle Brewery closed, Winston Churchill passed away and Robert Wicks was born. Brewed to a similar recipe that Bill Wickett used for his last brew at the old brewery on 3rd March 1965.

MORE OF THE DARK STUFF!
Hearty comfort foods and cosy fires with dark beers to match are what we most look forward to as the temperature drops, so here’s a beer to fit that picture.
This one is a sturdy porter, brewed with a typically robust malt bill and balanced with Simcoe hops to create a nuanced, subtle hop character. You can expect smoky coffee aromatics, and dark fruit with a hint of licorice on the palate, and a touch of sweetness on the malty finish.
Fun fact, umbra is the area of total shadow caused by the moon blocking out the sun’s light during a total eclipse; quite an apt name for a dark mild we thought!
This dark mild is true to type, being moderate in most aspects of its character. You’ll find it’s an easy drinking, medium bodied beer, with a subtle influence from hops and toasty, grainy malt flavours. It finishes clean, with gentle bitterness; enough to balance the delicately sweet malts, but far from being heavy handed.
CHUCK IS A NAME WHICH SOUNDS JUST AS MUCH AT HOME BEING USED ON BURY MARKET OR A TEXAN RANCH!
American Brown Ale is their version of our traditional Best Bitter, being just a touch more bitter on the finish thanks to the use of US grown hops; in this case Cascade.
Roast barley, Crystal Medium & Dark, plus Munich are among the malts which give this beer its deep roasted malt flavours, burnt caramel and gentle malt sweetness, and of course its rich colour. It’s pleasantly refreshing with well integrated hop flavours.
A rich, full bodied best bitter in the traditional Kent style. Finest Maris Otter pale ale malt and crystal malt for colour and richness. Hopped with local Kent Northdown and Finchcocks Whitbread Golding Variety and finished in the Hop Rocket with Progress hops from Scotney Castle and Goldings from Finchcocks hop gardenfor a full flavour and aroma.
A dark, malty red ale with nutty, roasted notes from the chocolate malt. This session bitter is hopped with Kent Target hops from the National Trusts hop farm at Scotney Castle and Finchcocks Kent Goldings. A satisfying and flavoursome pint.
