Brains - The Rev. James
Style: Old/Aged Ale

"The Rev. James is steeped in history. Acquired after the purchase of Crown Buckley, Rev. James is brewed to an original recipe from an 1885 book. The beer is named after one of the original owners of Buckley Brewery, the Rev. James Buckley, a business man with two conflicting roles – saving souls and satisfying thirsts.
The Rev. James is brewed to a traditional recipe and has been described as having a flavour not commonly available these days. Full-bodied and warming, The Rev James is rich in palate, spicy and aromatic with a deeply satisfying finish.
Pairs well with hearty meats or nutty dishes." - Brains website

Brains - Dark
Brains - Dark
Style: English Dark Mild Ale
ABV: 3.5%
Origin: Cardiff, Wales
"Once called Red Dragon, the famous pint of Dark has always been synonymous with Brains. Particularly in Cardiff with the dock-workers of old, the male voice choirs and with rugby fans down in the Arms Park. Nowadays its popularity has expanded and it is the biggest selling dark mild in Wales, continually winning awards both nationally and internationally.
‘Dark’ is treacle-coloured with a creamy contrasting head and brewed using chocolate malt, providing a clean palate with hints of liquorice and fresh ground coffee.
The intense flavour of Brains Dark goes well with pork and chocolate puddings." - Brains website
