Its not Christmas yet, but in a months time we’ll all probably be caught up in the madness of Christmas, and I’m sure you’re probably going to be wanting something for the beer lover in your life… or if you’re a beer lover then something for yourself. If you’re in Devon then you could do a lot worse then Otter Claus, the seasonal ale from the Otter brewery.
I say seasonal… not Christmas, as in the words of the Otter Brewery website:
We firmly believe that one particularly good beer is better than a bucketful of seasonals. So, although it may be a bit cheeky, we have one winter ale that forms the basis of our seasonal range. This delicious 5% beer is dark ruby in colour and has a well balanced flavour with a bittersweet chocolate edge. This comes from the careful use of Fuggles and Challenger hops.
Yes it is a little cheeky, but its a nice beer – and if Otter have an excuse to offer the beer at other times of the year, then it can only be good for us.
If you hang around Devon, then I would recommend checking out Darts Farm to pick up a bottle.
