[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF, 2004] An ambe beer with a huge white head. The aroma is slightly smoke with notes of rope, but also somewhat sweet. The flavor is sweet and only slightly smoked combined with notes of oranges, peach, and a dry finish.

Cask Conditioned, at the Head of Steam, Euston, London.
Golden with a grey thin head. Slightly smoky aroma but with a definite smoky flavour. Chris_o was on hand to compare this ales form with that at the GBBF and confirms it was smokier then, but its still discernable.

A real curiosity. Amber colour. The aroma is certainly smoky - definite rauchbier similarities - but it has some floral hop notes in the background too. The flavour is also smoky, but light and crisp as well. The smoke burns off a bit after a while. A bold experiment and one that, for me, is very successful. But then, I’m a sucher for smoked beers. Cask (handpump), GBBF, day 1.
