labour of love? Or a love of labour?
Sometimes it is hard to tell when you brew something like this. Because every step is hard.
There's our crew and the 24-2 Draft Horses crew out there seeding the barley and taking in the harvest. There are teams of Percherons pulling the equipment tirelessly, back and forth, round and round. There's the crew are Red Shed Malting going out of their way again and again because we ask them to create a specialty brown malt that simply isn't made that often anywhere these days. There are the brewers wrangling a new crop of barley and all that weather decided to do with it this year. And there's everyone before and after - packagers extraordinaire, taproom staff, sales reps, designers, admin staff and help of all sizes and shapes. All to get this fine English ale out to you fine folf.
Is it all worth it in the end? You tell us.

Strong for a brown ale but no issues with this finely made ale.
Pours a just short of clear reddish brown/mahogany colour with fine bubbly tawny coloured head.
Aroma is malty up front with notes of toffee, molasses, and toast - a slightly floral note peaks through.
Tastes slightly sweet and malty - again that toffee note, bread, molasses, and some dried fruit - there is just a touch of earthy bitterness at back but restrained.
Super smooth mouthfeel with moderate carbonation - clean and dry finish. A style I rarely have - this was delicious.
