Robinson's Old Tom

Today's offering a strong Cheshire beer in a small bottle, granted it is 8.5% abv



 

 

 

Appearance:

Dark ruby red with off white head that has some staying power

Aroma:

The aroma has fruits and chocolate, black treacle and a hint of spicy hops

Taste:

The taste starts almost like a port with roasted malt coming slightly followed by chocolate and some bitterness from the hops. The finish is long and multilayered, the port is there but the hop remain to balance it and the roasted malt and chocolate also come in and out along with the pleasant warmth of alcohol.

Overall:

I really like this beer it's complexity of taste and warming alcohol means this is a great Autumn or winter beer. I like it so much I forgive the small bottle as a few of these means you would sleep very soundly!
