Scrooge’s Revenge (4.9% ABV, bottle)
Crystal clear, deep amber, with an off-white head that stays well. The aroma is toasty malt and rich caramel. Very smooth, it has a lovely body. Malt dominates, with that caramel, some festive spice, berries, and some hedgerow hop notes. Not too sweet. A proper winter fireside beer — very comforting.
Buy it: I was sent mine. It’s part of the 12 Beers of Christmas box from Beers of Europe.
