Wayward Brewing Co.

Extra Special Bitter·Australia·5.6% ABV·One of 23 Extra Special Bitters in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Furious Gnome's caramel and malty character. Furious Gnome is a 5.6 % extra special bitter in the classic English manner, built around rich malt rather than hop intensity. Biscuit, caramel and a light coffee-like roast lead the palate, with hints of dark fruit such as raisin and plum. Earthy, floral hops add a gentle bitterness that balances the malt sweetness without taking over. The body is medium and smooth, and the finish stays rounded and slightly dry.
