Extra-Strong Bitter 5.3 º

Clube do Malte

This Strong Bitter delivers a classic British profile, balancing a sturdy malt backbone with refined hop character. The sensory journey begins with prominent aromas of toasted biscuit and freshly baked bread, supported by a subtle layer of light toast and caramel. These malt-forward traits are expertly countered by floral and earthy hop nuances typical of traditional English varieties. On the palate, the bitterness is firm yet well-integrated, allowing the complex grain flavors to shine through a medium-dry finish. With its deep copper brilliance and smooth fermentation, it offers a sophisticated drinking experience that emphasizes drinkability and historical character.

Appearance. Deep amber to copper in color (12-15 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderate, off-white head that shows good retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate to moderately-high intensity. The bouquet is dominated by rich bready and biscuity malt, with hints of light toast and soft caramel. Hop aroma is moderate, featuring earthy, floral, and slightly resiny notes. Low to medium-low fruity esters, reminiscent of dried orchard fruit, are present.

Taste. Initial impression is a balanced interplay between malt sweetness and hop bitterness. Prominent bready, biscuity, and lightly toasted malt flavors provide the core, while hop flavors contribute an earthy and floral character. Bitterness is medium-high and firm but never harsh, supporting the malt without overwhelming it. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering aftertaste of toasted grain and herbal hops.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Offers a smooth, well-rounded texture with very light alcohol warmth consistent with its strength. No astringency.
