Easter Ale

GV
9.0

This is a punchy 6.8% but very moreish ale. Brewed for Easter, as the marketing says harking back to the strong ales brewed by the monks for feast days, this is a strong, dark amber, full bodied ale. It is malty with a good sweetness that balances the sweet malty sugars with the aroma of hops (Fuggle, Pilgrim, Cascade and Golding), and for me, a deep caramel aroma too.

It is is brewed with the local Sussex spring water Harvey's has used for over two centuries.

Foxhole Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

16.5/20 (90/100) Аромат вишни и брусники с нотой копченостей. Умеренная тельность, довольно высокая кислотность, шелковистые танины. Приятный, аккуратный пино нуар. — 7 years ago

What did this taste like? Sadly in English adjectives?

@Joshua Fisher Reminds me German Spätburgunder. Cherries, raspberries, some smokiness. High acidity and silky tannins. Quite enjoyable.

The Trouble with Dreams Chardonnay Blend 2017

Pretty consistent with the 2018 if not a bit more broad. Oak comes through as toasty lemon oil and lemon curd. Certainly not delicate. — 7 months ago

Rathfinny

Traditional Method Brut Blanc de Noir 2015

Copper in colour, the 2015 Blanc de Noirs from Rathfinny in Sussex is a magical expression of the style and another exceptional English sparkling wine.

The nose features rich aromas of bruised apple, strawberry, brioche and orange peel. The palate is broad, mouth-filling and adds peach and nectarine (Molly’s notes) to the call sheet.

A wine I’d love to pitch against a French equivalent.

Porter

GV
9.5

Super porter from one of the long standing Sussex brewer.

A 1859 recipe that provides a smooth drink with lots of roasted malt and a balance of hops giving a little fruit, and sugar for a full-bodied beer.

Rich & Dark Old Ale

GV
9.4

This is a nice old ale that offers a pleasant taste set around dates, dried fruits, and caramel with a subtle sweetness and gentle hop flavour. Light carbonation.

Great with rainy, dark autumnal days.

Brut Sussex Blanc de Noirs 2015

95% Pinot Noir, 5% Pinot Meunier.
Lot no. L4515.

A super floral expression, almost like a dry Gewürztraminer from Alsace meeting Viognier from Condrieu.
