Today, we take a look at a beverage that pays homage to the creature from the woods. Introducing Wychwood Brewery Hobgoblin.
The companies name came about due to it’s location in Southern England near the Wychwood forest, which only reinforces the evidence of this beverage worthiness in the halls of Metal as Legions are known for hanging around woods and forests to act like trolls (!6!6!6!).
The hobgoblin is on the bottle looking at you saying “stop looking at me or I’ll hack you up with my axe”. That’s a very Folk Metal way of dealing with staring imbeciles.
The only size available was a pint of the product, and at 5.2% of alcohol content, it definitely had a tingle to it’s buzz.
The brew is a Dark English Ale, which means it’s going to taste just as it sounds.
Speaking of taste, it definitely has a dirty flavoring, but not the kind that will leave you sick, but sticks to your tongue and in a good way.
The smell was very weird, but than again some beers are known to smell funky and still taste good.
On a final note, it seems the Wychwood brewery has had some Rock related promotions with Gibson and Marshall and handing out prizes, so there you go as far as credentials are concerned.
Overall, great beer to change the gears of alcohol consumption one would face in the fridge. Definitely suggested to the worthy known of Metalheads.
