2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pale brown body, smokey aroma, bacon-like taste with a malt-like finish. Bit watery. Interesting, drinkable, different.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask @ Cask and Barrel South, Edinburgh 191212
Reddish brown, clear, creamy off white head, good lacing
Aroma of soft smoked malts and wood
Taste of smoky malts, dab of fried bacon, caramel malts, cereals, herbal notes, some toasted malt, unusual flavour, aromatic, not keen on the smoky bit herbal taste, it’s well made but i’m not really liking the taste
Palate - soft carb, medium body, creamy smooth texture, good mouthfeel, finish as main flavour
Overall - I’m not a fan of smoked beers, but a half of this is not bad but no more
