Vitis Wines Bogmyrtle

Bottle Conditioned. Vitis wines commission medeivel traditional beers from a number of breweries which are for bottling or cask. This has an unusual grass, leafy flavour which is bitter but strangely sweet.

a pretty earthy aroma. slightly chewy with some rolled oats. i don't know much about the herb or spice called bog myrtle but i heard that it is used in la chouffe. anywaze, as eczematic says, these old style ales are good fun

apparently from a viking recipe with heaps of mysterious herbs in it. i kind of like these hopless ales. pretty simple sweet malty background, with the main flavour being really dry, astringent, grassy herbs, with that strange planty taste that things have when they were never meant to be eaten without four stomachs. pretty bizarre but i liked it. thanks to kathryn who thought of my beer needs when she flew out from the old dart.
