A hangi pit (a New Zealand style earth oven) is filled with malted barley, sweet kumara and potatoes to enhance the flavours and aroma of a hangi before brewing this beer. Mata Taniwha is a silky smooth full bodied malty ale infused with smoky, earthy, barbeque notes and whiskey like character.

Pours copper with a non-existent head.
Nose shows bark, smoked malt, caramel and honey.
Tangy flavours, along with a fair whack of smoke. Not sure if the acidity is intentional, but in any case, it certainly doesn't detract from the experience.
Needs more carbonation.
Pretty weird stuff. The acidity doesn't really work with the smoked malt.
