I set up my blog as a record of all the beers I've tried over the years, good and bad. Unfortunately, this post is a bad one, although not quite a drain pour it just wasn't to my taste at all and I'm not surprised to find that it is no longer in production.
A deep amber colour with a loose beige head, it looks like my kind of beer. The head does disappear quite quickly, leaving a thin foamy layer. It has a reasonably appetising aroma of fruit and malt with the unmistakable aroma of smoke.
All I could taste in my first sip was smoke and a woody bonfire type smoke at that. It's very weird, bordering on unpleasant and the aftertaste is awful, leaving a mouthful of smoke lingering on the tongue. I couldn't taste anything but smoke, smoke and more smoke.
Thin bodied and watery it has very harsh bubbles filled with yet more smoke that burst their evil contents over every part of my mouth. Of course, not one to throw in the towel, I kept drinking it and although I got used to the weird flavour I was glad to polish off the last drop.
Like drinking a beer soaked ashtray, Ale NOT Be Seeing You Again!
