I’ve been very unfair to England. I have an obsession with beer and soda and unfortunately have been consistently disappointed with all the offerings from across the Atlantic. Guiness is fine, I guess, and has a beautiful pour, but if that’s all a country can deliver it is a sad state of affairs indeed.
The Wychwood Hobgoblin, which I first tried on draft at The Blind Pig in Champaign, has quickly become one of my favorite beers. It pours a dark caramel color with a nice head that dissipates quickly. It is a fairly typical dark ale with a nice sweetness in the middle and the end. It is a very drinkable beer best enjoyed on a cool evening around a fire.
