Beer review 016 : Abbot Reserve
Chris is still watching the footie and getting a bit tipsy.
6.5% ABV
They say:
Distinctive full bodied, smooth and mature beer, bursting with fruit cake and toffee flavours.
Aroma: Ripe Fruit, Fruit Cake
Taste: Full Bodied, Fruit Cake, Toffee
Malt: Pale, Crystal, Amber
Hops: Admiral, Pilgrim, First Gold, Fuggle
Additional Notes:
Very full bodied, rich and sweet with a higher bitterness to provide balance. Bursting with malty, biscuity and fruit cake character from the mixture of pale, amber and crystal malts. Masses of tropical fruits and floral fragrance from the hops in particular the fragrant, floral and spicy fuggles. Very complex, rich and warming.
