Brewer's Description: "Hobgoblin is a powerful full-bodied copper red, well-balanced brew. Strong in roasted malt with a moderate hoppy bitterness and slight fruity character that lasts through to the end. Head Brewer, Jeremy Moss, has produced a full chocolate malt flavour beer by the addition of a small proportion of crystal malt and the use of Fuggles hops blended with Styrian Goldings hops. The ruby red coloured Hobgoblin is full-bodied and has a delicious chocolate toffee malt flavour balanced with a rounded moderate bitterness and an overall fruity character."

Smells nice and malty, and tastes just the same. I really don't detect too much of the hops, but it's not overly sweet, either. This is a pretty darn good example of the style. I also thought it got better as it wasn't refrigerator cold. The sweetness emerges more, and I like it more! User: AWMiller  (67 reviews/ratings)  Added: 04-12-2011 Location: Texas Type: Bottle  Rating: The appearance is a dark amber / dark ruby red sporting a nice frothy head that lasts for the entire beer; with nice lacing throughout. Scent and flavor reminiscent of toffee with just enough hops to finish it off nice and smooth. Definitely one of those all-day beers one that you can enjoy all day! Oddly though I found myself enjoy the beer after it warmed up just a tad!

There are better dark ales out there, so buy a single of Hobgoblin only for the cool label. One of the many eclectic beers sold at Cost Plus in Southern California.

Very crisp and without any evildoer flavors so it's very drinkable.
