Wye Valley Dorothy Goodbody's Wholesome Stout
Cask; Regular. Also available bottle conditioned.
Thumbing through her grandfather’s books, Dorothy came upon a recipe for a wonderful stout with intense roasted barley flavours and a dry, bitter finish.
Together with her friend Jimmy, our head brewer, she created this dark, full-bodied number. It boasts roasted coffee notes and plenty of hop flavour.

Bottle. Dark brown with small brown head. Malty aroma with coffee and some dark chocolate. The taste is sweet and pretty much like the aroma. Its slightly bitter in the end witch is quite nice after the sweetness.
Dark brown color. Medium carbonation. Very weak aromas of chocolate, minerals, generic yeast smell. Dry palate with coffee, herbal bitterness, and a burned finish. A bit of fruitiness as it warms up. Not incredibly complex. Surely drinkable, but not special.

Dark coffee and roasted flavours but quite a light body. Head size and retention not much cop. Quite bitter on the palate.
Nice dark black appearance with lots of head that lasts for a little while. Hints of coffee in taste, but not very dominant.
Mild stout, lett-drukken. Litt lite aroma, litt flat smak. Noe bitter ettersmak. Anbefales dersom man vil ha en lett stout. Passer nok bra til mat, da den trolig Ikke vil være dominerende ifht maten som serveres.

500 ml, flaske, 4,6 % ABV, julegave fra Robert - tak! 25. juni 2014.
Ibenholt-farvet engelsk Stout med 1 cm moccafarvet skumtop, ikke tætskummende, ej heller entydigt storskummende.
I næsen er der noter af brændt malt og lidt fjern chokolade.
Smagen er typisk britisk-stout'sk med bitterhed og syrlighed. Smagsbilledet starter bittert, men slutter af med en anelse mere sødme sammenholdt med det bitre. Ikke oppe at ringe for undertegnede.
Et medium indhold af kuldioxid.
Eftersmagen tør og kort.
Klart en Stout i den milde ende af alkoholskalaen, men smagen er alligevel tydelig.
