Our take on a German style smoked beer. Using malt smoked over beechwood to create a delicate smokey and sweet flavour.

Has a heavy smoked character, most obvious in its aftertaste although it’s not shy in its aroma as well. There are some slight fruit notes evident though and it’s dark ruby in colour with a small head.

Cask at George on the strand. It pours clear brown with a small white head. The nose is wood, smoke, hp sauce, Worcestershire sauce and light vinegar . The taste is wood, varnish, leather, light plastic, decent bitterness and faint smoke with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Unusual smell. So-so.
