Tynt Meadow is a distinguished British Strong Ale that marries monastic tradition with English ingredients. Pours a deep mahogany with a warm red hue and a persistent beige head. The aroma is rich and complex, defined by dark chocolate, liquorice, and dried fruit esters. Brewed with English barley and fermented with an English strain of yeast, it delivers a full-bodied palate where bittersweet chocolate and fig notes are punctuated by a distinct peppery spice. The bottle-conditioning provides a fine effervescence, leading to a remarkably dry, warming finish that belies its substantial strength and showcases the depth of its English hops.
Appearance.Mahogany to dark reddish-brown with subtle red highlights (20-22 SRM). Features a dense, long-lasting beige head with good lacing. Generally clear but can show a slight chill haze due to bottle conditioning.
Aroma.High intensity malt profile featuring dark chocolate, liquorice, and deep toffee. Strong fruity esters of fig and raisin. Low earthy English hop character. Clean fermentation with a slight peppery yeast note and well-integrated, smooth alcohol.
Taste.Initial rich malt sweetness of chocolate and nuts gives way to complex layers of fig and dried fruit. Moderate bitterness balances the English barley base. Mid-palate introduces a peppery spice from the English yeast. Finishes remarkably dry with a lingering warmth and a hint of herbal English hop character.
Mouthfeel.Full and chewy body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate to moderately high due to the second fermentation in the bottle. Significant but well-integrated alcohol warmth.
