Beer lovers,
I was very excited last week when presented with a drinks menu at a new restaurant in Albion Park called Ravensthorpe. This place had only operated as a function centre previously. The chefs are well known in the area through other restaurants.
Anyway, on offer was an Australian beer unknown to me. Despite a suffering from a cold and dulled sense of smell and taste I couldn't refuse.
The brand was Black Wattle Superior, the beer was called Wattle Seed Ale. Brewed by Australian Independent Brewers in Smeaton Grange for Barons Brewing Company. I was very impressed with the beer at the restaurant and took a stuby home to try when I'd recovered from the cold.
I've just knocked it off and I am very impressed. It has a very sweet malty and spicy aroma which carried through to the very complex flavour. It had a lovely dark red / brown colour and a lacey head.
It made my current low bitter tettenanger pale ale seem bland.
Keep an eye out for it, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Cheers
Scott
