Tasting Notes

Imperial Stout – ABV 8.0%, 750ml

Inspired by a Lacons recipe dating back to 1866. This magnificent stout floods the palate with mighty malt flavours and chocolate notes, balanced by hints of irresistible stone fruits. (Also available in a limited edition barrel-aged bottle)

 Yarmouth Strong – ABV 7.0%, 750ml

Overflowing with heritage, this rich bitter has been brewed with malt from the 1800s. Notes of berries and figs enhance its complex depths with a lovely velvety mouthfeel.

Audit Ale – ABV 8.0%, 750ml

Dark copper barley wine bursting with marvellous marmalade aromas. Berries and spice cascade the palate, followed by a smooth sweet finish. An exceptional example of a unique style of beer and won champion Winter beer of Britain at The Great British Beer Festival in 2019.

Old Nogg – ABV 6.0%, 750ml

Charming dark ale, slightly nutty with an abundance of warm woody tones.  Hints of dark fruits and pine aroma tingle the senses. Old Nogg reflects the dark days of the 1926 general strike when rebelling workers drank strong classic beers during hard times. (Also available in a limited edition barrel-aged bottle)

Highlight Ale – ABV 6.0%, 750ml

An IPA with a punch of peach and passionfruit. An easy-going biscuity backbone highlights delicate fruity aromas, rounded off with a dry finish. Highlight was first brewed in 1957 and became a pioneering marketing campaign for Lacons. Our brewery museum houses a coveted collection of retro Lacons memorabilia.

Penny Black Imperial Porter – ABV 10%, 750ml
