Labyrinth | Newstead Brewing Co.
ABV: 9.2%
IBU: 23
Style: Red Ale - Imperial / Double
Actively Produced
Description: A complex labyrinth of both processing and flavour, this huge, 9.2%, barrel fermented Double Red is the biggest release from Newstead in 2018. Rich and complex, this really is a cacophony of flavours. Burnt caramel, chocolate and tropical hop character dominate the aroma, with hints of vanilla and coconut from the barrel. Flavours of caramelised fruits, glazed cherries, caramel, hints of coffee and an oaky character are all entwined with an alcohol warmth. A first run through fresh wine barrels, it had to be big to counter the fresh oak character. All big flavours, but somehow they work together. This one's a sipper, or one to entrap the Goblin King.
