Wellington Brewery
Brewed since ? in Canada
6.5 % alc. vol.
The brewery's strong ale was named after the Duke of Wellington, the British military leader who defeated Napoleon. Iron Duke, at 6.5 per cent alcohol by volume, is in the style of an English strong ale.
Tasting note: Full copper-red color. Toasty, fruity, aroma. Great depth of flavor. Malt-accented, but beautifully balanced and rounded, with characteristic ale fruitiness in the middle, and a dry, hoppy, finish.
Food pairings: Prime rib. Roast beef. For traditionalists, steak-and-kidney pudding. Cheese, especially a well-matured Cheddar.
