Beer Review: Hobgoblin

[AWMiller]

Brew: Hobgoblin

Brewed by: Wychwood Brewery Company, Oxsfordshire, United Kingdom ... check out their wicked website!!!

Style: English Brown Ale

Glassware: Best served in pint glass (becker or tumbler) or a good ol' mug.

Personal Notes: The appearance is a dark amber / dark ruby red sporting a nice frothy head that lasts for the entire beer; with nice lacing throughout. Scent and flavor reminiscent of toffee with just enough hops to finish it off nice and smooth. Definitely one of those all-day beers... one that you can enjoy all day! Oddly though... I found myself enjoy the beer after it warmed up just a tad!

Those dark beers look good in pictures. So the other day I bought some Shiner Black, it tasted like snuff spit to me. Still would like to try a few more though.

I've tried the Shiner Black and liked it 'ok'... I have had much better in the black lager/schwarbier arena. That's what is so interesting about the brews..... one can love one brew while another just can't get the hang of it.... keep on trying is my motto!!

Dark beers are pretty much an acquired taste to me. They seem to taste better when the weather is cold as well. Hawkins, too bad you did not like the Shiner Black. I dipped Cope for over 40 years and accidentally drank from the wrong bottle more than once. My vote is that Shiner Black tastes much better than the stuff in the wrong bottle.
