Tap at Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell - 26/09/12. Slightly hazy copper brown with a small off-white head. Bourbon on the nose straight off with wood tones and a little lemon. The bourbon is more subtle in the taste, again woody, some malt and ry. Palate is the lighter end of medium bodied with matching carbonation, if anything a little too thin for a 7%+ ABV beer with some complex flavours to it!

Draft. Earthy ginger aroma. Hazy golden yellow with moderate head. Earthy ginger without heat flavor initially followed by a watermelon finish. Spectacular blending. An extremely unique beer - reminded me of pickled watermelon rinds. Really enjoyed this one.

On tap. Pours a hazy amber with a small off-white head. Weird, fruity aroma with a whiff of....smoke (?) Medium body, light caramel notes, vaguely butterish and a harsh bitter finish. Odd, flawed and unrefined. 080912
