I went to the annual CAMRA beer fest held in my city in Autumn this year and did the usual sampling - grabbing a half pint glass and getting through as many different real ales as possible.
While there I drunk a half of a beer called 'bumble beer', which was lovely. If you closed your eyes and somebody placed a glass under your nose, you would swear it was a honey jar under your nose. But it wasn't just the aroma, it really came through in the taste too. I would absolutely love to make a beer that retained such a honey flavour. Can any of you guys advise how this would best be achieved? I guess you would need to add lots of honey add secondary or bottling stage to get that, but I don't really know the best way to go about it.
Have any of you guys brewed anything like this? Any tips or recommendations would be great, if I thought I could produce anything that was half as delicious as what I tasted that night I would be chuffed.
Cheers
