“This strong ale is Wychwood’s flagship beer. It is a rich, dark reddish brown colour, with a bubbly but rapidly vanishing head. The aroma is of dark chocolate and dry, roast malt, a little like Horlicks. In the mouth it is quite sparkly, with a rich burnt malt flavour and a little fruity sweetness (plums and grapes). Below the surface there is a pleasant hazelnut flavour. Although hops are present, they are manifest only by hint of citrus zest in the mouth. Towards the finish, the dark malt lingers with a touch of treacley sweetness on the tongue hanging on into the aftertaste. This is a very palatable pint from Wychwood, which has the brewery’s characteristic smoky qualities.”
Crazy beer, Alejio recommends it.
