Hi there fellow beer lovers,
Welcome back to the eternal Hoptimists.
Today I am braving this creation from Northern Monk,. I don’t have a good track record with beers that have ‘custard’ in them, but I will grit my teeth and give it a go.
- Name: Aunt Bessies Jam Roly Poly
- Brewery: Northern Monk
- Aroma : Sweet red fruits, with a strong vanilla background.
- Appearance : Thick opaque marmalade orange, with a thin head.
- Body : Medium bodied, well carbonated, with no head retention.
- Taste : Really sweet jam flavour with undertones of a lactose vanilla which morphs to a slightly sour finish.
This is a complex mouthful, as there is a lot going on. The sweetness is quite intense, before it moves through its flavour pallet. So much so, I couldn’t drink a lot of it.
I think this is one of those beers that can divide a crowd, if you have a sweet tooth and love sours and fruity smoothie IPA’s this is going to be a winner where as if your more of a traditional ale or stout drinker this one is a definite no.
Our overall rating: 3.3/ 5.0
