Ridgeway FES matures in a similar way to vintage port. Roasted malts and leaf hops initially provide an aroma of breakfast coffee and fresh spices that gradually fades to reveal liquorice, caramel and raisin notes that are products of the aging process. Beneath all this change, sits a solid and resilient backbone of bitter English hops.

Black colored, small non lasting tan head. Aroma is chocolate, licorice and roasted malt, touch of alcohol when warmer. Taste is medium sweet chocolate, licorice, coffee, hint of alcohol with a roasted dry finish, bit of roasty bitterness but not much. Slightly warming. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, milky. Very drinkable for an 8% brew!

Von der Geschmacktiefe ist dieses Bier sicher vorne dabei, aber der brutale Röstmalz-Hammer kommt gleich nach dem Einstieg und haut mal brutal auf die Zunge ein. Eigentlich ein gutes Bier, aber es hackt an der Harmonie der Aromen und der Stärke der Röstaromen.
