353)  Home:  Hobgoblin by Wychwood Brewery of England:  **;  the nose is sweet, malty and fruity, just a hint of berries;  the fruity flavours are muted with a dry bitter finish;  From the label:  "Traditionally crafted legendary ruby beer"

354)  Home:  King Goblin by Wychwood Brewery of England:  **;  this is the smoother of the two;  less malty with more berry notes and sweetness;  just a hint of alcohol (6.6%);  "Special reserve";  the label informs that this is only brewed under a full moon;

Another face-off, for All Saints' Day.  Of the two I prefer King Goblin, by the smallest of margins.
