Description
In a nutshell:
A strong, dark ale with smoky notes and a satisfying bitterness like a bonfire toffee apple for grown-ups.
The lowdown:
Here's a seasonal special that hits the spot come November. A dark amber ale with a proper bonfire night vibe. Not shy on the colour, deep amber, almost reddish. First whiff, you get a touch of smokiness, like bonfire embers, mingling with some roasted malt. On the tongue, there's a decent whack of malt flavour, a hint of caramel sweetness, and then that smoky character comes back through. Finishes with a pleasant bitterness, like burnt toffee. Not for the faint-hearted, but a cracking bonfire night companion. Warms you up from the inside out, even if the fireworks fizzle.
The Brewery:
Tucked away in Lewes, deep into Sussex, Harvey's have been brewing for eight generations. From their traditional brewery in the heart of the town it's obvious their roots lie in a much earlier age. Nonetheless they've consummately managed to navigate the modern world with their time-tested brewing methods. Their beers lean towards the traditional. There's their Best Bitter, which does precisely what it advertises - delivering a rather agreeable pint. And if you're in the mood for something darker, their Old Ale is a proper winter warmer with just the right amount of depth. In a world of ever-changing craft beer trends and more hops than you can shake a stick at, Harvey's offers a certain old-school charm and there's something reassuring in their steadfast dedication to well-made, unfussy brews.
Style - Brown Ale & Mild & Other Ales ABV 5.8% - Moderate Strength
