Comfortably Numb 5.0% A.B.V

Strong Ale

A wonderful winter warmer. Deep amber, strong ale not for the faint hearted. A magical blend of malts with Styrian hops that give a mouth-watering hop aroma, smooth and warming malt flavours with a deep, spicy hop finish. Devilishly moreish.

Cask at WHOAF 2015. It pours clear deep red-brown with a small white head. The nose is bitter-sweet, earthy, toasted grain, varnish, caramel, some ginger bread, spice and Christmas cake. The taste is rich, bitter, woody, biscuit malt, toasted grass, must, earth, over-ripe orchard fruits, wood, varnish, ginger and Christmas cake with a dry, lightly spice finale. Medium body and sot carbonation. Pretty decent

Cask by hand-pump at Pot Still, Glasgow - clear amber brown, thin creamy off-white head, weak malty aroma, good film of lacing, caramel, bit of fruit, good hop bitterness, easy to drink
Mr H, Ayr, SCOTLAND • 6th January 2014

Had a lovely pint of Comfortably Numb in the The Harp, Charing Cross. It's very deceptive, goes down really easily and doesn't let you know it's a strong ale. A dangerous beer and one of my favourites!
Ian Heron, Yateley, Hants • 7th December 2013

Cask at the Webb Ellis JDW, dark amber with a lacing head, fruity and faintly tart nose, mid to full bodied, rich fruity and honeyed body with toast and marmalade notes and a spicy citrus-bitter edge.

Cask Real Ale tasted at Angleterre 0.23L glass. Nose of berries. Pale beige head (4mm). Dark coppery colour. Malty and roasty hoppy taste with some hints of berries (raspberry). At the end hoppy bitterness.
