Freeminer Deep Shaft Stout Freeminer Brewery Cinderford, Gloucestershire
Beer style: Stout Ref: ratebeer.com May2024
Common descriptors are Cask; Seasonal - Autumn and Winter. Also available bottle conditioned. Packed solid with malt, hops, and oats. Possibly the darkest stout of all time, a single varietal beer, made only with Fuggles hops, packed with bitterness, and brimming with aroma hopping, a deep and complex beer, worth taking some time over, and exploring the Hampton Court like maze of complex flavours. Initially, the dry, biscuit flavour of roast barley attacks the palate, soon to be replaced by the soothing Fuggles balm of rich smokiness, and then layer upon layer of malted oats, rich dark malts, and an unidentifiable eutectic finish of pure stout character. |
