Gangly Ghoul uses some crystal malt in the recipe as well as a special brewing sugar. Both of these ingredients give a warming toffee character to the beer with the special brewing sugar adding an extra rich fruit cake note. Challenger hops add a fresh dry hop or classic English hop flavour often described as herbal. The First Gold hops in the recipe contribute a touch of orange peel citrus and some spiciness. All of these ingredients together contribute to an easy drinking beer with enough complexity to maintain interest. MALT: Pale, Crystal. Challenger, First Gold.

Spooooooky! Tastes a bit like Abbot, only a little sweeter.

Half-pint, cask ale at Grain Loft. Creamy, nitro white head, clingy lacing, clear deep rosewood coloured body. Malt-fruity smell, dry. Blended taste of caramel malts and dried fruits, slightly jam-like impression. Rounded mid-sweet malt-fruity finish. Satisfying. (Manchester Airport 05.10.2018).

Fra cask på Grainy Loft, Manchester Airport. Ultradyprød. Nesten svart. Lavt tett skum. Antydning til frukt i aromaen. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken malt med innslag av mørke plommer. Vel søt.

Cask at the Beer House, Waterloo Station. A dark mahogany pour with a reddish glint and a thin beige head; thin purple fruit aroma; watery in the mouth then a dry grainy texture with a short fruity burst; and a biscuity finish. Seasonal but rather thin.
