Review: Old Wobbly

Old Wobbly from Mitchell's Knysna Brewery
Rating: C

Appearance: little head, no lacing, hazy gold color. Not very appealing.

Smell: very vinous, and definitely high alcohol. A non-beer-drinking friend said it smelled like grape juice.

Taste: warming alcohol is unfortunately the dominant taste, some fig taste that I associate with some other barleywines I've had.

Mouthfeel: carbontaion is too low, heavy mouthfeel.

Drinkability: weakest of the beers at Mitchell's I've had - this one seems to be intended for getting drunk quickly, and not much else.
(sampled at the Cape Town location, review entered from notes)

Serving type: on-tap
