Champion Winter Beer of Britain 2009

The Results have just been announced of the CAMRA Champion Winter Beer of Britain awards for 2009. The tastings were held as part of CAMRA's National Winter Ales Festival in Manchester. Oakham's Attila from Cambridgeshire was crowned Supreme Champion by the panel of judges. The 7.5% ABV barley wine is described by the brewer as having "fruity notes and an elderflower aroma, with the taste of ripe red berries and citrus fruit and a long bitter fruity finish." Graham Donning, Festival Organiser, praised the winning beer for its accomplishment: "This is a spectacular beer with a great following, and a deserved winner. There are few barley wines remaining in this country, and Attila is a wonderful example for anyone who is yet to try this rare beer style."
