Commercial Description:
Brewed for Barons Brewing by AIB
http://www.baronsbrewing.com

The first beer released is the Wattle Seed Ale, which starts with a blend of Australian and European malts, creating a rich flavour base of caramel with a hint of chocolate. The smooth malt flavours are lightly hopped and then infused with roasted Wattle Seed, bringing a unique and authentic Australian flavour to this fine red ale. The result is an outstanding ale that boasts a smooth taste profile balancing its robust character, an ultimately rewarding yet distinctive beer.

Pours a clear amber brown. Light on hops, slightly spicy. Unique flavor, hearty with a smooth finish. Very drinkable. I really liked this beer.

Really enjoyed this unique beer! Awesome twist to it with the wattle. Caramel and chocolate add great compliments slightly malty beer. Would buy again in a second.

Stunning dark amber in the glass, with a off white head. Aroma is a little caramel, and some english hops. Great malt character, unique (not sure if its the wattle), the chocolate malt is balanced in there well. Moderate hop bitterness, and the flavour of perhaps some fuggles. The finish is a touch metallic and bitter. Overall, a very good beer. Hope to try some more from this brewer. Re-rate - on tap at the royston. A different beer to what I remember, bucketloads of bush honey and heaps fuller. Unique and delicious.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. BBWSWSA pours dark red to light brown. The head is medium-sized. The aroma is almost nutty but not quite. I suppose it is wattle. There’s also some malty caramel. The flavor follows the aroma. It is caramel, roasted nut shells, dried grasses and malt. This is interesting and worth a try but not something that I’d actively seek out. I’m giving it ood impression points for its unique taste. The body is a little on hte heavy side of medium and the there seems to be an oily consistency to it.

New in Tampa. The aroma is very nice with floral notes, lots of toasty malt, caramel, fruityness and hints of classic english brown ale nutty notes. The body is a bright and clear brown/amber and holds a diminshing tan head that leaves clingy lace. Big caramel and fruit in the first sip. Muted cocoa/chocolate through the middle. The finish is dry, but fruity with toasted nutty notes. This is pretty damn good. There must be a lot of great beers in Australia for this to have such a ho-hum rating.
