Black Wattle Superior Wattle Seed Ale by Barons Brewing Company

From: Barons Brewing Company in New South Wales, Australia
Style: Australian Red Ale

Beer Description:

The first beer released is the Wattle Seed Ale, which starts with a blend of Australian and European malts, creating a rich flavour base of caramel with a hint of chocolate. The smooth malt flavours are lightly hopped and then infused with roasted Wattle Seed, bringing a unique and authentic Australian flavour to this fine red ale.

The result is an outstanding ale that boasts a smooth taste profile balancing its robust character, an ultimately rewarding yet distinctive beer. At 5.8% ABV and offering a long and lasting flavour, the Wattle Seed Ale is best enjoyed with or after a meal, complimenting a juicy steak, rack of lamb, or a prosciutto and rockmelon starter. Alternatively, this select ale will be enjoyed at almost any occasion by those who enjoy something special in a beer.

Had a couple of these fine beers tonight, and have to say it sure is an interesting one! Poured a deep ruby bronze colour with a medium off-white head that dissipated to a slight but consistent layer. The spiciness was slight, and was well balanced as it went down. This has been one of the more enjoyable brews I've had of late, and I'll surely be having more of them in the future!

Comments:
Subtle floral aroma with heavier hints of nuts and chocolate (or caramel) results in a quite complex aroma but very rich and appealing. Dark copper colour with a fluffy creamy head, that fortunately had good longevity. Flavour is a nice thick and strong nutty and chocolate taste with a light hoppy aftertaste that is very remarkable. I can't say that I could pick out the Wattle Seed taste/aroma but this complex beer is simply stunning! This beer is worth looking for and is very deserving of the Beer Guide Australia - Beer of the Year (2006).
