Tasting Notes
E: Perfect clarity with a brilliant auburn glow, slight speckles of yeast strains from the bottles conditioning.
N: On the nose it demonstrates elements of roasted malts with a thick fruity aroma which is boosted by a bold hop character.
P: On the palate the beer is rich with bold notes of fruitcake, massala wine, and a sticky caramel feel that is underpinned by a robust hop bitterness.
M: The mouthfeel is moreish with a resinous hoppyness that lingers and eventually fades to leave a sweet rounded body that is warming.
Other comments:
Shepherd Neame brewery is the UK's first and oldest brewery. Producing beer since 1698. In 1998, Shepherd Neame launched 1698 Bottle Conditioned Strong Ale to mark the breweries 300-year anniversary. This Kentish ale has Protected Geographical Indication, much like that afforded to Champagne and Parma Ham. The ale matures naturally in the bottle and has a natural effervescence that is a result of the interaction of the yeast and the brewing sugars in the bottle. 1698 is an award winning ale and has been included in the International Beer Challenge's World's Top 50 Beers. This beer is a stunning example of what a strong ale should look, smell and taste like and is a fantastic anniversary beer that shows off the Kentish Ale style.

Food Pairings:
Lots of flavours to work with here, including fruit, caramel, sweet malts, and orange resinous spice. Two food draw me towards this beer. My first choice would be Curry. Something with a moderate amount of heat, and contains red meat. The sweet malts will help contrast against the spice, whilst the effervescent bubbles will help cleanse the palate of the spicy oils, refreshing the palate. My other choice would be Cheese, a hearty bold Cheddar that is strong and has a rich full flavour to it. Allow the sweet malts to compliment the cheese, whilst the hop bitterness will cut through the acidity of the cheese, enhancing the fruit flavours in the beer and creating a fantastic balance. The carbonation will again help cleanse the palate of the residual fats in the cheese leaving the mouth refreshed and ready for more!
