Bottle. A lightly unclear one, golden to amber in color and with a small, off-white head. Lighlty smoked nose with some caramel and a touch of dried fruits. Some sourish notes. The flavor has some smoke, as well as a piney, resiny bitterness and some sweet maltyness. Medium to full body. Not my preferred smoked beer, but sure drinkable. 120623

50cl bottle. Pours amber/orange with a thin layer of yeast. The nose has a smokey, tangy, orange toffee. The taste has ginger, smoke and then the juniper finish which is long and green.The palate is well balanced with a medium body, a good creamy texture and then a long tangy finish. Overall, interesting beer.

Air pressure cask at Euston Tap. copper amber colour slight haze thin cream head. Yep definite smoke aroma. Smoked and got enough malt backbone to carry it. Quite a tough smoke. But it works here. Even some fishy smokiness. Really good. In fact i liked it hugely. Good smoke

Copper brown...clear...thin white head
Aroma - spicy fruits...smoky...some barbecue sausage and juniper
Taste - Odd peppery fruity, smoky barbecue (not as much as a rauschbier), sweet caramel malt, woody smoke. background of bitter hops...It’s a well made beer....I tried to like it and had 2 attempts on the same night...but I didn’t
Palate - soft carb...thin to medium body...smooth...smoky aromatic palate. Finish dry smoky aromatic very longing.
Overall - I know it’s a well made beer...Interesting and unusual...but I simply didn’t like the taste....perhaps don’t like junipers....I think this beer is meant to divide opinion
