Hobsons Brewery Old Henry
Extra-Strong Bitter 5.2 º
Old Henry presents as a quintessential Strong Bitter, showcasing a deep auburn hue derived from premium Maris Otter barley. This malt provides a sturdy base of toasted biscuit and rich toffee, while the use of traditional Worcestershire hops—Goldings and Challenger—imparts a refined floral and spicy earthiness. The sensory experience is defined by its masterful balance; the initial malty sweetness is met by a firm, clean bitterness that provides structure without overwhelming the palate. Bottle conditioning adds a layer of depth and soft carbonation, resulting in a complex, medium-bodied British ale with a lingering, dry, and earthy finish.
Appearance. Deep auburn to copper color. Slight haze typical of a bottle-conditioned ale if not decanted perfectly. Moderate off-white head with decent persistence and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate-high malt aroma with toasted bread, biscuit, and light caramel notes. Moderate-low hop aroma characterized by floral, spicy, and earthy tones. Low fruity esters are present.
Taste. Medium-high bitterness balanced by a rich malt profile of biscuit, nuts, and toffee. Hop flavors are moderate, featuring earthy and spicy notes. Medium-dry finish with a clean, lingering hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel. Medium to medium-full body. Moderate carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel with a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth. No significant astringency.
