Hook Norton Celebration

Formerly brewed at Hook Norton
Style: English Strong Ale
Hook Norton, Oxfordshire, England

This was a light brown brew with a off white head.Aroma was primarily Maltiness with some spiciness anise I believe.Nice mouthfeel carbonation was not overwelming .Brown malt flavor with a spicy hop finish.

Wow, this beer smells skunky. However, it is not bad tasting. This will help tide me over until the green beer flows through the streets of Milwaukee tomorrow

Bottled, aged 4.5yrs. Dark red, brown with bubbly head. Brewed to commemorate the 150th birthday of the brewery, I've been tending this bottle for some time. However there has been no significant change to the beer, why do I bother to age pasteurised beer? Full chocolate malts with a nasal alcohol note, roasted nut flavour underlying. There is a quick sweetish finish. This is the big brother to Hook Norton Copper Ale at 4.8%
