I’m having a beer from
@dave_77 but I’ve no idea what it is, there’s no description.
The colour is a gorgeous deep red-brown and the beer is crystal clear. Carbonation is quite soft - the off-white head needed a little height from the pour and then quickly dissipated to a light foam around the edge of the glass. A steady stream of small bubbles kept it going.
The aroma is caramel malt, raisins, and something warm and spicy which I’m guessing is rye.
The flavour is really nice, a little more dry than I’d expected from the aroma. The malt is beautiful and slightly bitter caramel notes shine through. It’s not the same as Hobgoblin (which is quite sweet) but shares enough similarities to remind me of Hobgoblin - a better version of course
I think I drank it too quickly to do it any justice with my description, it was just bloody nice and I want another!
I think it might have been fairly strong too because although I had no clue from the flavour, I can feel the effects - maybe I just drank it too quickly
Dave, I loved this ale, whatever it was!
