Made with a base malt of Maris Otter pale malt from Branthill Farm just along the coast (some of it smoked), with pale Munich malt, chocolate malt and black malt. Hopped with smoked NZ Wakatu in the boil and smoked USA Centennial for aroma. Dry hopped with more smoked Centennial in secondary fermentation. This has a unique and highly distinctive flavour from the use of ingredients smoked in a traditional fish curing smokehouse in Chapel Street, Cromer. Brewed on Wednesday 7 November 2012. Bottled 16.1.2013.

Gusher! Semi opaque dark red - brown beer, large but short lived pale tan head. Nose had traits of medicine and coca cola. Tangy dark malts. Medicinal flavours and tangy coca cola follow the nose. Light semi dry finish. Infected but not awful.

Bottle from courtsey of Ang’ (cheers mate) consumed at home Tuesday 18th March 2014 Pours dark reddy/amber with beige head, slightly hazy but otherwise pretty good clarity. Good smokiness a little well cooked smoked sausage. Really smokey in mouth, tangy, wonderful beer, heavy maltiness but the smokiness comes through, a little woody. Quite soft in the mouth, strong but not to the detriment of the beer. This is a great beer, loving it, cheers Ang’ A8 A5 T8 P4 Ov16 4.1
