Newcastle Werewolf

Caledonian Brewery (Heineken UK)
Edinburgh, Lothian
Beer style: Bitter - Premium / Strong / Extra Special (ESB)
Ref: ratebeer.com Apr2024

Common descriptors are
"Formidable Beast". What better way to toast the fall than to have a bottle of this formidable, dual character brew. At first smooth with mellow overtones of sweet berry fruit, a bite of bitterness suddenly cuts through, long, deep and lingering. Brewed with Rye Malt, it is naturally "blood red" in colour. Unlike the mythical wolf-like creature said to roam the bleak moorland surrounding Newcastle, this is real, so consider yourself warned!
