33cl bottle. BB 11/13. Near black in color, beige, thick head. Lovely smoked ham and bacon aroma with some light hops as well. Flavor is the same with ham, bacon and smoke. Quite ashy, dry finish with some fruity hops lingering in the back. Light to medium bodied. Good drinkability. Love smoked beers, and this one goes quite high on the list, despite being a little thin.

Bottle at Lady Greys, Newcastle. It pours golden yellow with a small white head. The nose is sweet dough, brioche, madelines, grass, sugar and spice. The taste is doughy, grassy, icing sugar, light bitterness and candied orange with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty decent. Very good for the style anyways.
