COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Seasonal - January.
Brewer’s Description of this Beer: On the first Monday after Twelth Night, the ploughboys, with blackened faces and beribboned jackets, would take their plough round the village. They stopped outside the houses of the well-to-do and performed the Molly Dance. If the householder didn’t come forth with ale, cake or alms, the ploughboys would threaten to plough up the front garden. The bitter cold of a January night demands a very robust stout and Ploughboys is fortified with port to keep the Ploughboys going. Only available in a few pubs in Maldon, it is a rare beer to seek out.

Cask (gravity dispense). Beer #14 at Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival on 3 February 2011. Roasty and creamy aroma. No head. Not much condition. Good roasty bitterness on the palate with plenty of chocolate in evidence too. A little residual sweetness at the end, although the overall feel is rather dry (if that makes sense). Very tasty but I would have preferred a bit more condition. No sign of the port for me either.
