Wychwood Hobgoblin

I'm still working my way through the gift of beers I was given back in December. I realize that is ridiculously lame but, well, I'm okay with that. I think I have one or two left at this point and I should just drink them but I have so many other things to drink and so little time. Oh well, I'll get to them eventually. This time I chose the Wychwood Hobgoblin, a Dark English Ale according to the bottle.

I didn't know what to expect from Hobgoblin, but honestly I wasn't expected a really solid beer which is what I got. Nutty, malty sweet nose with a bit of toffee. Body was caramel and sweet fruit with a tiny bit of bitterness in the finish. Quite tasty and actually reminded me of Yards Brawler a bit.

More Tired Hands!

I hope you aren't getting tired of hearing about Tired Hands because I'm not getting tired of drinking their beers or writing about them. Helps that it's easy to never drink the same beer twice given their penchant for never creating the same beer twice. Jo and I stopped in this time since we were right down the street at the hospital. It's super handy that the hospital we chose is like two minutes from here. I'm sure my wife thinks the same thing!

The day before they tapped a new beer, Mrs. Pigman, and I was real excited about the timing. Mrs. Pigman is a triple IPA coming in at 11.5%.
