Otter Brewery Otter Head
Strong Ale 5.8 º
Otter Head presents a sophisticated sensory profile that leans into its heritage as a British Strong Ale with a distinct old ale character. The experience is defined by a deep malt presence, evoking notes of rich toffee and toasted nuts, harmonized with expressive dark fruit esters reminiscent of plums and raisins. Despite its robust mahogany appearance, the beer maintains a graceful balance where a moderate malt sweetness is countered by a purposeful earthy bitterness. This leads to a complex, lingering bittersweet finish that showcases the brewer's intent for a strong yet approachable pint with significant depth and traditional British soul.
Appearance. Deep reddish-brown (18–22 SRM). Creamy, light tan-colored head with moderate retention and fine lacing. Clear with brilliant ruby highlights.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Rich malt-sweet character featuring notes of caramel, toffee, and toasted biscuit. Prominent dark fruit esters of raisin and plum. Low earthy and floral hop character.
Taste. Rich malty initial impression with nutty toffee and dark sugar flavors. Layered dark fruit esters provide complexity. Balanced by a firm earthy hop bitterness that leads into a long, bittersweet aftertaste where malt and hops linger in equilibrium.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full, chewy body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. Subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth on the finish.

We believe that the key to brewing a great strong beer is to make it well-balanced with a good use of hops. This makes Otter Head easily drinkable and an excellent choice with food. Whilst it has a distinctive barley wine, old ale character it remains light to drink with a malty, fruity and slightly sweet flavour with a long bittersweet aftertaste. The fruit and malt aroma sits well with the beer’s deep, luxurious red/brown colour – still a firm favourite on many bars.
