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.

33cl bottle from Morrisons. Attractive golden amber colour with a loose cream head; malty aroma with some wishy-washy hops; rich malty flavour with lots of caramel, and short burst of rather indistinct hops; and then perhaps a hint of whisky at the finish. At least they are trying to do something exciting down at Brains.

Bottle at Chriso Easter "Flags of many nations" Tasting, 31/03/13 thanks to Leighton. Clear mid amber with a thin off white head that departs edgeward. Nose is malt, bready dough, light spice, wheres the hops and not really getting the whisky either? Taste comprises caramel, sugars, malt, light hops. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Drinkable but mediocrity screams from this one!
