Commercial Description:
A traditional amber, complex, sweet, malty ale, with a touch of peat in the finish, which is characteristically lightly hopped. Brewed from a blend of English malts and a single pitching of Kent Goldings, this beer is fermented at a lower temperature to suppress formation of esters, reinforcing the beer’s complex malt flavour profile.

Slighty hazy, tawney brown colour. Aroma draws a lot of toasty, nutty maltiness. Creamy body hold sugary notes and a bit of toffee. The finish is quite sweet, balanced only by cask acidity.

Cask handpull at Spinnaker’s, Victoria. Deep chestnut colour with ruby hints and a lasting thick beige head. Malty aroma, choccy again, maybe a bit more of a twang then the ESB, but still lacks depth and any hop bite. Good malts but just a bit nothingy in mouth. Slight tang on finish.

Cask at the brewery
Dark red and orange color. Very nice body for a cask ale: big, doughy and full of a thick, textural oak flavor. Sweet maple, woody and brandy flavors, with some more doughly and pancake-like flavors as well. Very good stuff here. The best cask ale in Victoria.

The third cask on, all winners. Dark with a touch of smoke. Rich and vineous. Light to the tongue as casks can be. Bang on for a cask scotch.

(Draught) I’m definitely liking the darker Spinnaker beers more than the lighter ones. Pours a frothy, almond head and a deep red-mahogany body. Nose of peat and malt. Very malty and refreshing with a red wine tinge at the finish. Very enjoyable!
