The packaging is superb and screams class, making it a great gift option. Delivery is quick and secure, and the service is excellent.

"The 2025 vintage ale has a really deep rounded flavour with hints of resinous fruit and a slight taste of hazelnut on the aftertaste. This is a lovely ale and as usual I bought a second bottle to keep for a couple of years time so that I can see how the flavours develop."
"It's difficult to express how delicious this pokey 8.5% Vintage Ale is. A great brown glow greets the drinker from the glass, and the warmth of that first sip explodes with flavour with a good balance of hops and malt. This is a sitting down at home beer! One should be enough, but two certainly are! I've just finished the 2024 case - which improved in depth even in the short while it resided in my cupboard. The 2025 is just as good, of course, so I've bought 2 cases!"
"The vintage ale is simply wonderful. A rich, tasty beer that satisfies with each and every sip. The label says that it will be at its best in a couple of years time. But there’s no chance of it lasting that long!"
"Very attractive aroma and flavourful ale to be sipped and savoured rather than gulped, of course. On my pallet, slightly more bitter than Golden Pride which is my favourite though ESB is a strong contender as an alternative lighter ale accompanying the evening meal."
"My husband was delighted with the gift looking forward to sampling them but. he is saving them a while. delivery was quick"
"Yet to be drunk, saving for Christmas"
