Headcracker

About this beer

An award-winning English Barley Wine from Norfolk's Woodforde's Brewery, celebrated for its powerful character and distinctive balance of fruit and hops. Head Cracker pours a deceptively pale colour despite its substantial 7% ABV, offering a full-bodied drinking experience with remarkable depth and complexity. Rich flavours of plums and damsons provide a pronounced dark fruit character, complemented by an abundance of citrus-driven hopping that introduces brightness and balance. Its combination of substantial strength, expressive fruit notes and lively hop character creates a memorable interpretation of a traditional British strong ale. Head Cracker has received numerous accolades, including Bronze at the 2005 Supreme Champion Winter Beer of Britain competition, Highly Commended recognition at the Champion Beer of Britain competitions in 1993 and 1994, and multiple Champion Barley Wine of Britain awards.
