Gravity cask at the 2016 Cambridge Beer Festival. Reddish brown, clear, with a small cream-coloured head. Leather, woodsmoke and printer ink in the bouquet. Sweet taste turning to smoky sour toward the finish. Tannic aftertaste. Thin body. A well-executed smoked beer.

Tasting at Mr Smith’s Skyflat. Thanks to Colin. Clear amber beer, tidy pale tan head. Palate is light and dry with mild fine carbonation. Thin malts, touch of lactose like tangy sweetness. Fair bit of grey smoke. Touch of dried fruits. Light dry finish. Smokey linger. Unabashedly smoked.

Bottle thanks to Colin. It pours clear deep brown with a beige head. The nose is toasty, earthy, smoked action, tobacco, smoked meats and slight medicinal vibe. The taste is clean, bitter, toasty, bitter, spiced, brown bread, smoked malts and some ashy action with a lingering, dry smoked finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Fine smoked affair.
