Strong Ale 7.8 º 20 IBU

Hoppy Zaragoza
Cierzo Brewing Co.

Evoking the depths of the 'Upside Down,' this British Strong Ale presents a complex tapestry of malt artistry. A deep reddish hue sets the stage for a profile where specialty malts reign supreme, delivering rich toasted nuances and subtle roasted hints reminiscent of traditional British brewing. Aromas of caramel and toffee intertwine with dark fruit esters and a gentle, earthy hop presence. On the palate, the 7.8% ABV provides a welcoming warmth that carries flavors of nutty sweetness and light cocoa through a smooth, full-bodied finish. It is a robust, malt-protagonist journey that balances depth with a refined, lingering toasted character.

Appearance. Deep reddish-brown to copper (SRM 18-22); clear with a moderate, cream-colored head that leaves fine lacing.

Aroma. High malt intensity featuring toasted bread, caramel, and toffee; moderate dark fruit esters like plum or raisin; low earthy and floral hop character.

Taste. Rich, malty-sweet initial impression with dominant nutty and toffee flavors; light roasted and toasted notes provide complexity; moderate bitterness balances the malt; finish is lingering and slightly sweet with evident alcohol warmth.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full, chewy body with a smooth, velvety texture; moderate carbonation; noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth without harshness.
