Hazy golden white head. Aroma is sweet, malty and heavy ginger. Flavor is medium sweet and light bitter. Dry and spicy finish. The ginger leaves a small bite in the throat almost like mild chili. 290512

Bottle from D Byrne & Co, Clitheroe. Ginger aroma and taste, but this can also feel somewhat overbearing after a while.

Bottle from Brdr. Schmidt. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are rich ginger, so if you dont like that - keep away because there is lots of it. There is also some malt, notes of flowers and hops.

Cask at the Wandsworth Common Spring BF, London. Pours clear, red-gold with a fine, foamy head. Light caramel, smokey peat and ham in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with cured honey ham, smoked peat, wood. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lasting smokey peat on the finish with yet more cured ham, light honey and caramel. Very nice beer. One of the better British-made ’smoked’ beers I’ve had.

Light to medium sweet flavor, roasty, meaty, lightly smokey with some doughy toast. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Roasty finish with some steak, light earth and leaves. Interesting.
