I first tried this ages ago and I blogged (previous incarnation) that I didn't like it. What an amateur! This bolstered
Conqueror (boosted from 5% to 7.4%) from
Windsor and Eton looks like Coca Cola, has a decent citrus nose off the bottle neck then switches to burnt cereal aromas when sniffed within the glass. Thick and generous body with the malts winning out over the hops in the taste stakes, but only just. Having said that, the hops are evilly rounded - bitter and piney. The aftertaste is only mildly bitter, but it lingers for a long time. (You can just taste the booze at the end of this - a nice touch and a reminder to respect the high abv.) I would
love to try this on keg. Maybe they'll have it at
London's Brewing....? *fingers crossed*
