COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Seasonal - November to March.
Deep amber colour, an unusual blend of smoked malted barley and fresh root ginger creates an amazingly complex but satisfying flavour.All depends whether you like your consumables smoked and infused with ginger, of course! Ginger Nol (Not Ginger No 1 - it’s an L, not the number 1). Oliver Cromwell was a red head, believe it or not. Ginger, for the red hair, and Nol, which means lump or stump - loosely translated meaning head - simple! (Nol was also an old nickname for Oliver). (Yes, that is another clue to the brewery name - clues coming thick and fast now!)

Bottle. Copper coloured with an off-white head. Aromas are very much like ginger beer soft drink with peppery, floral notes. Some underlying toffee malts with citrus. Flavours are sweet malts with ginger burn and lots of pepper. Dry with a light herbal finish. Peppery and gritty. Probably not at it’s best in bottled form.

maeib (6398) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - DEC 1, 2009
Cask conditioned handpump Market Porter London. A dark brown coloured beer with a small off-white head and lacing. The aroma is good crisp ginger . Ginger nuts in the mouth right down to the biscuity feel. A full ginger taste for a beer of its kind brewed in the UK and pretty good for it. Tasty.

imdownthepub (7171) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - NOV 29, 2009
Cask conditioned at The Market Porter, Borough Market. Chestnut colour with white head. Thankfully the brewery blurb mentions smoked malts, because that’s what I’d written down, I did get touches of ginger, but the bonfire flavour was a little more dominant. A really pleasant brew though which was enjoyed thoroughly.

harrisoni (9608) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - FEB 20, 2006
Cask handpull at Yew Tree Inn, Barfrestone. Brown/chestnut colour. Ginger aroma with hops. Bit of lemon, ok in mouth, dry finish with more ginger nut biscuit type flavour. Fine, if a little too gingery
