Kind of a ginger bomb that destroyed any good sense of the excellent base beer. Not much left in this. Pours black with ok head and lacing. Tap at Snallygaster.

Cask pour at Snallygaster 2014 shared by ME! Thanks to myself! Poured a dark brown color, creamy medium sized head. Aroma was orange zest, ginger, and roasted malt notes. Flavor was heavy on ginger notes, with some light citrus. I think I like the base beer a bit more, but this was certainly worth a try.

On tap at Black Squirrel’s Michigan beer event during DC Beer Week 2014. Pours a murky deep brown with some clumpy beige head. Nose has a lot of malt, brown sugar, a bit of tree bark, some cocoa nib, perhaps a hint of booze. Flavor is malty, crackery, bread crust, cocoa, hints of booze, something a bit umami too, like roasted mushroom. Smooth finish. Held up well.

Sampled @ GBBF day 3. Very dark brown to black color, virtually no head. Smell and taste malts, a lot of herbs or spices, lightly roast, lots of spices. Medium body and carbonation. Not my thing at all.

Cask gravity at the 2014 GBBF. With ginger and orange peel. Nose is big candied ginger preserve, spicy and fresh bit not much else. Opaque dark brown coloured pour wiry a halo of cream head head. Flavour is big ginger, spicy orange tang and dark choc, ginger dominates the flavour. Palate is medium full with highish carbonation. Too much ginger.
