Name: Bonfire Boy
Brewery: Harvey's
ABV: 5.8%
Location: Lewes, East Sussex
Style: Strong Ale
Aroma: Plums, figs, caramel, chesnuts, hints of smokiness.
Colour: Dark brown with a one finger white head.
Taste: A balanced bitterness followed by a notable malt forward background, notes of berry fruits, caramel, liquoriche and a hint of wood smoke in the background. The high strenght gives a warming like quality to the brew. A smooth to creamy mouthfeel.
Verdict: A flavoursome number full of rich flavours that echo the season, fruitcake elements meld well with sherry like warmth to create a glorious taste experience. The flavours are well balanced and meld well together to create something that is multi-textured, whilst the hint of smokiness coming from the black malt reminds one of a bonfire. The ideal drink for the darker months of the year.
Rating: 9/10
