Shepherd Neame has teamed up with one of Finland’s leading breweries on a new collaborative beer, unveiled as part of Shepherd Neame’s Cask Club range of experimental, innovative ales.
Howling Wolf (4.5% ABV) is the result of a joint venture between Britain’s Oldest Brewer and Mallaskoski, based in the northern Finnish city of Seinäjoki.
Mallaskoski’s Brew Master Jyri Ojaluoma spent two days in Faversham last month working alongside the Shepherd Neame brewing team. The end result is a dark, full-bodied winter ale that has hints of vanilla and citrus with a bold, smoky finish. The beer uses a combination of American, English and German hops, along with Viking Red malt imported from Scandinavia.

Cask @ White Swan, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a creamy head. It's a smoother hoppy ale at an easy strength with a fuller taste, and a berry-sweet nose.

(Keg at Black Door, 20191213) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass malts, caramel and sweet liquorice. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, spiciness, malts, grass and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and lightly bitter. A brew with promising aroma and disappointing taste.
