Baydale Beck Darlington

Brewed in the style of an American red beer 3 Kings has a malty flavour coupled with a dry citrus hop finish. At 3.8% this is a very sessionable Christmas beer.

Tasting Notes: Hoppy, spicy, grapefruit, cinnamon

The original stalwart of the Black Sheep range. First brewed in 1992, Best Bitter is the iconic Yorkshire Bitter devised and created to offer beer with real flavour and bite. A different breed

Tasting Notes: Brewed with whole flower English hops, Best Bitter packs a genuine spiky bitterness with big character. Challenger, Goldings and Fuggle hops blend to create a beautiful aroma and flavour with kicks of grassy freshness and a big peppery punch. The Maris Otter malt offers a light sweetness that balances against those big bitter characters.

Riggwelter, a real powerhouse of a beer. Much thought went into the creation of this ‘strong’ ale. To create something with real strength and depth a unique recipe is used featuring rich espresso aromas, dark fruit and roasted malt flavours.

Tasting Notes: This strong, velvety, ruby beer really is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It is deceptively clean drinking, with a wonderfully complex palate of coffee, bananas and liquorice which rewards you with a long refreshing Goldings hop finish.

A trendsetter in the brewing industry; the original Summer ale brewed all year round. Probably the beer to receive the most awards in Britain!

Tasting Notes: An extremely pleasant bitter, straw coloured beer with a terrific fresh, hoppy aroma. This, coupled with an intense bitterness, leads to an excellent long, dry finish.
