On tap at Swans, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with lots of smoky peat upfront, with a touch of bready malt. Flavour is wonderfully peated, with a perfectly calibrated peat smoke, gentle residual sweetness and a touch of caramel bready malt. This is beautifully rounded. Frankly, an excellent smoked lager.

Flavour is powerful, with big caramely malt notes upfront, attenuated by dry bready malt and a bit of red fruitiness. Wonderfully constructed, with everything cohesively integrated. Excellent.
