Black pour. Giant tan head. Creamy and lasting. Some lacing. Huge nose of ginger with some notes of chocolate. Smells like stir fry. Big taste of ginger and a handful of earth. Not bad. Might complement some Mongolian BBQ.

Bottle@home from bottleshop
pours a dark garner black with a fluffy tan stockings head. Sweet stem ginger battles dry dusty cocoa and rich burnt toast roast barley for nasal supremacy. Underneath that us a meaty umami note that makes this a savoury beer. Medium carbonation plays on the tip of the tongue, chocolate, followed by spicy stem ginger, a touch of lactose sweetness then peppery ginger all over the tongue. A touch of chalk and peppermint and mature cheddar wraps up the finish.
