Rich Warming Ale

Hops: Sovereign and Cascade

A rich winter beer fermented over 7 days to give a pleasant dry finish. Brewed in October to give time for the beer to condition and allow the flavours of crystal and chocolate malts, Pilgrim, Sovereign and Cascade hops to mingle. Not your run of the mill sweet sticky winter warmer

Bottle, 6.0%. Very spicy hop aroma. Cloudy brown colour, light brown head, leaving good lace. OK flavour, good maltiness and nice spicy hoppiness. A bit sweet and peppery. Quite palatable.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a hazy, dark amber with a dense, handsome and rather stable, off-white head leaving some laces. Somewhat unclean and not overly pleasant malt aroma. Medium body with lightly nutty and malty accents. A somewhat raw bitterness in the finish. Very high in carbonation. By far the best Teme Valley so far - and my first one that wasn’t ridiculously infected. 210906

Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A hazy deep red beer with a medium light orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of fruit as well as notes of over ripe fruits and dusty hops. OK body.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a fluffy brown head. The aroma is nutty combined with notes of berries, but also hints of sourness. The flavor has notes of metal, berries - especially raspberries, and nuts, leading to an acidic woody end. [5/4/4/3/7=2.3]

Hazy brown color, off-white head. Aroma is very bad, smells sharp and sour, like carnivor faeces. Taste is bit better, quite bitter, roasted malty. Still, obvious drain pour.
