Created in the mid-nineties, Riggwelter is our flagship Strong ale. We wanted a beer with real strength and depth so we developed a unique recipe built around rich espresso aromas, dark fruit and roasted malt flavours which lends itself perfectly to putting in a bottle.

Bottle from Morrisons. Clear amber/ruby body with a tight off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of toffee, rust and dried fruit. Flavour of Dr Pepper and salted caramel. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. It’s quite boozy but there’s lots of flavour.

dark ruby color, small head, that dissapeared very quickly. Aroma is vey malty, lots of caramel, and some faint hops. Flavour is very malty, and bready, with some grains. Nice bitter finish, not sure why this is an old ale, to me it’s more of a strong english bitter. The hops really come through in the finish.

По аромату немного отдает карамелькой и легким шоколадом с травянистым оттенком, немного хмеля как в битере. Цвет полу темный, пенка средняя. Вкус в целом средний, тоже отдает битером только с дополнительными нотками шоколада и зерен кофе. При глотке легкая травянистость от хмеля, горчит немного. А так в целом ничего необычного, скорее всего на один раз, не более.
