Our smoked lager style made using Beechwood Smoked Malt with the added kick of chillies that builds with each sip.

Keg at the Craft Beer Co, Covent Garden. Poured a clear medium amber with a whispy white head. The aroma is smoky bacon. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light chilli spice, light smoke palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. I’m not a fan of smoked beers but this one I liked.

330ml bottle. Barely clear, orangey golden colour with average, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Relatively mild, smoky aroma, hints of bacon, smoked sausage etc. Taste is mild smoky, minimally tart and herbal, a very cautious sweet malty touch; accumulating, smoky and peppery spiciness in the finish. Although probably the same basic beer as the "Smoke", somehow better balanced. OK additional chipotle spiciness.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; clear amber pour with a thin white head, bonfire aroma, taste is not as scary as the aroma I was expecting a phenol laden nightmare, but the smoke is quite mellow with some sweet malts and a bit of a chilli kick, interesting beer.

Pigs Ear. Cask. Hazy gold - amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and with just modest carbonation. Light pale malts, mild to medium smoke. Chilli kicks in and provides a low level burn. Light dry finish, chilli warmth lingers on. It feels a little dirty.

Cask gravity at Pigs Ear 2014. Thanks to Keane. Smokey aroma bit of heat but more like smoked paprika. Good actually.
