Extra-Strong Bitter 5.5 º

Evil Twin Brewing NYC

This Strong Bitter from Evil Twin NYC presents a harmonious interplay between traditional English inspiration and modern refinement. A deep copper pour introduces a complex bouquet where earthy and floral hop notes mingle with a moderate caramel and bready malt backbone. On the palate, a smooth, fruity ester profile complements the toasted biscuit flavors, typical of quality British base malts. The balance is expertly struck; a firm yet integrated bitterness provides structure without overwhelming the rich, malty core. It finishes with a clean, medium-dry linger, making for a sophisticated and highly drinkable ale that honors the spirit of a classic ESB.

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

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a blend of floral and earthy hop character. The malt presents a medium-high profile of toasted bread, biscuit, and light caramel. Fruity esters are moderate, reminiscent of dried orchard fruits.

Taste. Initial impression is a balanced mix of bready malt and firm hop bitterness. Flavors of toasted biscuit and soft toffee are supported by earthy, floral hop notes. The fermentation character is clean with moderate fruity esters. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering, pleasant bitterness and subtle malt sweetness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Texture is notably smooth with a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth. No astringency is present, providing a clean and rounded mouthfeel.
