Brakspear Triple

A relatively new beer from an old brewery, this one was 6.7%








Appearance:

Dark cloudy reddy copper with very off white head that disappears but leaves a little at the end

Aroma:

Almost like a peated malt whisk! with pear drops overtones and a touch of liquorice as well

Taste:

The flavour is dominated by ripe vinous fruit, with a toasted malt, which fades as the pear drop flavour and final hops start to come in. The finish is one first dominated by a combination of warming alcohol, that fade to give flowery hops which fade to more peppery hops and toasted malt comes back across, the finish is quite drying, but still leaves you wanting more.

Overall:

A really unusual beer for a British beer idea for winter lovely warming, complex. Defiantly worth trying if you get the chance, but I would sip it slowly

8.5/10
