This specialty beer is a 5.7% Smoked Indian ale that has been flavoured with a combination of two New Zealand hops in the boil & dry hopped the only way we know how. However this beer is not all about the hops…for the malt base we use beech smoked, pale, munich and carafa which help set this up to make for a very interesting beer.

Keg at Craft Islington. Dark brown colour, creamy beige head. Aroma is smoke, meat, bit of creaminess. Taste is bacon, smoke and citrus in the background. Bit unusual and not sure how successful it is, but definitely interesting. Quite easy to drink. --- Beer merged from original tick of Tiny Batch Hot Box on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:06 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.

Almost opaque dark brown beer, tidy off white head. Palate is crisp and a little dry. Minerals. Hops are fresh and mildly fruity, little pith. Fairly peel - bitter. Good malt base with a whisper of toffee and mellow smoke. Finishes crisp and dry with lingering peel - bitterness.

Bottle at home, thanks to an IP with Essex Jim, 01/01/13. Pours dark dark amber/chestnut brown with a thin off white head that assumes a frothy bubbleness clinging to the outer circle. Nose carries juicy hops, pine, mango, light grapefruit, subtle background rausch. Taste comprises hops, pine, grapefruit, mango, caramel malts, mineral tones, great blend of smoke, enough to be noticed, enough to remain a well balanced hoppy IPA. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, hoppy bitter finish with a touch of smoke. Great stuff, the Tiny Rebel folks never seem to produce a dud ! Bis meine Straße !

330ml bottle from Ales by Mail
No. 3, BBE June 2013 - Pours murky dark brown with a bubbly white head. Aroma of fruity hops, smoked leather, ham and hints of spices. Taste is fruity and hoppy with a lot of leathery notes, hints of smoke and ash. Finish is bitter and smoked with some leather. Quite unique, a bit unbalanced.

33 cl bottle @ lusikka. No.3, BBE 06/2013
Aroma is odd and stale with berries, oaky notes and ash and distant smoky notes. Flavour has berries, ashy notes, some resin and smoky notes. Quite unique stuff.
