As a very small two-and-a-half person brewery, making world class beers and sharing them fresh with the public is about all we have time for. But who needs more than that?

Panda thanks to Cloin. Clear brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Thin malts, light caramel. Alright ripe fruits and a very light touch of spice. It comes together well flavour wise but overall it's a tad thin.

Silver bullet, courtesy of Martha. Cheers! Pours a pretty murky very deep copper brown. Swede is a thick foamy and fully lasting off white delight. Body is grim, head is banging. Anyhoo. Nose has spicy rye like malts. Some cracknel toffee. Hops are super piny juicy and spicy. Charred pineapple. Sweet hedgerow fruit. Taste has sticky sweetness before a big piny fruity herbal bitter hit. Loads of body throughout. Very bitter finish lasts an age. Great example of the style.

Can from The Beerhive. Hazy amber body with a beige head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of caramel, raisin, copper and brown bread. Flavour of toffee, buttered brown bread and an earthy, bitter finish. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Light fizz. A rich and nourishing lager, which goes down well on a cold November night. Another great lager from one of my favourite breweries.

Can from Utobeer, Borough Market. Dark brown pour with a beige head. Nose is fruitcake, liquorice toffee, caramel, coconut, raisin. Taste is cola, camp coffee, fruitcake, liquorice toffee, brown sugar. Sweet malty linger, just a tinge of bitterness.

Can picked up at the brewery. SMODs first Rotbier, I think. Hazed reddy copper colour. Thick lasting pale beige foam. Looks well. Nose has caramel malts. Spicy fruity hop. Whiff of light sourness. Taste has a caramel sweetness first off with a punchy lasting hop bitterness. Lovely creamy mouthfeel with fine rolling carbonation. Nicely lingering bitterness to finish. Lovely stuff. SMOD do a lager better than most.

Bomber picked up at the brewery. Beautiful artwork on the label. Hazed yellow gold. Thin lasting white foam. Nose takes some working out. Big oak character. Chalky mineral. Red wine spilled in an ashtray kind of thing. Smelly cheesy brett. Traces of fruit, mostly sweet white grape. Bonkers really. Taste settles to a tangy very vinous very yeasty semi sweetness first up. Gets a little dry and vinous and a bit gritty on the bitterness. Some salinity. Loads happening here. Finishes like a glass of Gewurtztraminer that’s got left too long but you happily neck it regardless. Mad.

440ml can from brewery - hazy amber body, little head. Big smoky nose, smoky bacon, smoke malts, lots of smoked woodiness throughout. Nice enough

Can picked up down SMOD. Hazed deep orange gold. Soppy white foam stays the course. Nose has squishy stone fruit. Squishy sweet orange. Malts don’t come across squishy but they are sweet and biscuity and ever so slightly spicy, in a rye like fashion. Taste has sweet biscuit up front with a moderate spicy zesty bitterness. Fairly slick mouthfeel with fine carbonation. Finish gets pithy and zesty. Had this previously and it seemed dryer and more vibrant overall, so maybe this can is a tad wonky but there you go, you can only rate what’s in front of you.
