Description
In a nutshell:
A traditional barley wine that tastes like rich Christmas pudding in a glass, with malty sweetness and a boozy warmth.
The lowdown:
This Christmas Ale from Harvey's down in Sussex is not one of those knee-deep stouts that leave you looking for a nap under the tree. This one's a sensible sort, a winter warmer without the whole nine yards. Think of it like a nice pair of slippers - familiar, comforting, gets the job done. Touch of spice, hint of citrus, all wrapped up in a malty hug. Not going to win any awards for innovation, but then again, neither is your nan's roast. And that, let's be honest, is exactly what you want with a Christmas tipple, isn't it?
The Brewery:
Now, Harvey's of Lewes, they're a rather intriguing bunch, aren't they? Tucked away in Sussex, brewing beer for eight generations. You half expect to see someone in breeches and a powdered wig stroll out of the place. Yet, they somehow manage to navigate the modern world with their time-tested brewing methods. Their beers, well, they lean traditional. There's their Best Bitter, which does precisely what it advertises - delivers a rather agreeable pint. And if you're in the mood for something darker, that Old Ale of theirs is a proper winter warmer with just the right amount of depth. But here's the thing, in this world of ever-changing craft trends with more hops than you can shake a stick at, Harvey's offers a certain old-school charm. Like discovering a classic British film on a Sunday afternoon, there's something reassuring in their steadfast dedication to well-made, unfussy brews.
Style - Brown Ale & Mild & Other Ales ABV 7.5% - Strong
