Brandy Snap is a fabulously festive milk stout from Teesside brewers Three Brothers and it's brewed with Challenger hops, eight malts and lactose.
It's a deep mahogany brown colour with a small, loose, tan head that doesn't hang around for long, leaving a flat looking beer that resembles a glass of coke.
It smells very boozy with a big hit of brandy and the delicious sweet undertone of malt. It's surprisingly lightly flavoured with the lovely taste of sweet malt and a hint of brandy. It has a medium body and carbonation is very soft so it has a silky smooth mouthfeel.
It's a lovely wintery festive ale that tastes exactly like it says on the can. I think Three Brothers have got this one spot on as there's just the right amount of brandy flavour to balance perfectly with the malt and hops without overpowering the deliciously smooth stout.
This is definitely one to look out for if it's brewed again and Ale Be Seeing You again!
