Our first commercial beer, originally released before we launched in December 2013 as a prize for winning a Homebrew competition! A traditional Porter recipe brewed with fresh root ginger. A medium-bodied, smooth, dark ale with a mild roast character and a fresh, zingy finish delivered from the fresh root ginger.

Can sample at a Gose tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Black with a beige head. Aroma of roast, lots of ginger, coffee, and some chocolate. Bittersweet flavor, a bit sourish, roasty, with some ginger, coffee, some chocolate, and a bitterish finish. Medium-bodied, over-carbonated. Too much ginger for my liking.

Draft @ Moeder Lambic Original, Irish Craft Beer #1, shared with 77ships. Brune-cuivrée, col fin blanc-cassé. Arôme au nez plaisant, centré sur les malts et sous-couvert d’une effluve épicée de gingembre. Rétro finement malté, et caramel typiquement dans un style anglais, je note aussi une once de café. Palais est malté, caramel, pâle avec une petite impression de toffee. Le gingembre vient ajouter un côté épicé et râpeux et en fin de bouche une impression rappelant la réglisse. Fini reste sec, note grains avec une pointe aigrelette.

Draft glass shared with Sebletitje @ Moeder Lambiek Original. Black, little tanned head. Nose is big vegetable umami, mushroom & light gray. Taste is sweet umami, mushroom, gravy, lightly watery, bit vegetable, ginger is in the finish but too little for my taste & you need to look a bit for me. Body is lightly watery & umami. Not enough ginger for me, tad watery & far too mushroom umami.

Keg @ Norseman, Dublin [280714]
Black, tan head, some lacing
Nose of soft roast malts, some chocolate, slight ginger
Taste of soft roast malts, soft chocolate, touch of coffee, ginger is very soft in this
Palate - Medium carb (too fizzy from keg), thin to medium body, light sweet. Finish as main flavour.
Overall - Keg dispense doesn’t really suit this beer, it would be much better on cask. Quite a pleasant porter
