Battle of Britain - Wolfs Brewery (3.9% ABV)

Battle of Britain is rather an odd name for a beer in my opinion, but they donate 10p from each bottle to charities affiliated with WW2 veterans, so it's worth buying just for that reason. No mention of any proceeds going to Luftwaffe veterans though?

Nice clear copper colour with a thick off-white head top, and a strong presence of dark toasted, sweet malt and Floral hops

On the palate, this has a very woody character, with plenty of brown malt and a thick toffee sweetness. Pecans and walnut flavour mid-palate with a hint of butterscotch, before being balanced out with plenty of hop flavour and cleansing bitterness; hop resin, dried leaves, herbs and some spicy grass.

Mouthfeel is quite impressive on this. Medium/full bodied and feels vibrant and chewy with a effervescent carbonation that works really well - goes down very smoothly. Very well balanced with perfect balance.

Nice beer this, from Wolfs brewery, and it's the first one I've had of theirs. Look forward to trying some more!
