Boilermaker is a copper-coloured IPA brewed with Ben and Tom from Thinking Drinkers. Brewed with Chinook, Simcoe, Cascade and Willamette hops and matured with Penderyn whisky infused oak chips in casks from the distillery, the arts of distillation and brewing combine to create an epic Welsh IPA adorned with a fragrant citrus aroma, a touch of spice with hints of vanilla and a warm whisky finish.

Cask at Haymarket. I remember not being too impressed by the bottle I had in my pre-rating days. Much better on cask. Clear amber pour, thick white head. Taste is fruity sweet. There’s a subtle whisky note at the back end. Nice.

Bottle. Dark amber in colour, next to no head. The toffee is evident in both aroma and taste but it’s on the skunky side. There’s a small sweetness in the palate.

Red/copper colour with thin, creamy head. Light woodiness and whiskey in the aroma some floral fruity hops too. Flavour has some sweet vanilla whiskey but overall is quite bland. Texture is thick and even a bit syrupy. Low/no carbonation.
