A good mate of ours Robert Ransom managed to export some of our brews to Taiwan of all places. So it was only natural that when he set up his own whisky company and blended a dram called The Angels’ Nectar that we would brew up an ale to pair with the whisky. Brewed on a Pilsner base to keep things clean and then a combination of dark crystal, Munich, black and distillery malt. The hop bill is East Kent Goldings, Challenger, Cluster, Northern Brewer and Herkules.

Clear deep red - amber beer, tidy pale tan head. Palate is smooth but has good fine carbonation. Light malts, some cream and toffee. Ripe fruits. Touches of spice and floralness. Light finish. I take it hops and whiskey don’t match well then? Tsk!

On cask at the White Lady. Appearance - dark brown to black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - elusive at first, then burnt toffee comes through. Taste - toffee, liquorice, charcoal, burnt molasses. Palate - close to medium bodied with a dry burnt texture through the middle section and this continues through the finish. Overall - quite complex but the burnt note is a bit too persistent to make it truly enjoyable.
