The Benson Strong Ale rings in at 6%. It pours fairly dark, coppery amber. Additions of star anise (which produces flavours similar to Benson’s liquorice root) and molasses lend this beer a smooth, complex sweetness. Like our summertime experiment, this beer has a touch of cayenne pepper. As we learned last week from our primary source investigations last week, such spices could be used to “liven” up beer and give it a little extra kick. The cayenne here is quite subtle: just a bit of warmth running into the chest on the finish. Mouthfeel: medium weight, and a round body. This isn’t your usual 2015 beer – but it’s a highly drinkable, satisfying brew

The beer pours a translucent cherry red colour with a thin white ring for a head. The aroma is dark fruit, molasses, and grains. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with below average carbonation. The anise notes really pop in the flavour along with dark fruit, molasses, and the pepper pops in the finish. A fuller mouthfeel and more carbonation and this would have been a very good beer.
