Tried on tap at the Quarrymans Hotel during their Bacchus takeover.
Pours an amber colour, nice dense head with pretty good retention. Nice lacing. Great stuff.
Smells smokey, slightly meaty. Touch of spice. Bit of sweetness. Subtle, but very tasty.
Holy pig! Taste is hammy and slightly smokey upfront, then hugely hammy, stuffed full of meaty goodness with a slight spice and sweet honey glaze character. Tastes like Christmas. Delicious.
Body is OK, gets bitty and slightly dry on the back.
Great meaty drop. More than just the smoke. I'm amazed, but mostly extremely skeptical, at the claim that this beer is 'vegetarian'. Part of me thinks that's just a really cruel troll by these guys, as it's one of the meatiest beers I've had the pleasure to encounter.

Tried on-tap at the Quarrymans in Pyrmont, as part of their Bacchus takeover during Sydney Craft Beer Week. This beer is apparently vegetarian, which you would not believe from the flavour, which is 100% straight glazed ham.
Pours a reddish amber hue with a solid weight to the body. Head forms a very fine crest of white. Fine patterned lacing and very fine carbonation which gives the body a silky look to it. It looks pretty impressive.
Nose is lovely: sweet-smoky with definite meaty ham overtones. Maple glaze, scored roasted skin. There's a sharper note as well that's slightly ashy, but it works well with everything else. It's sweet, round, smoky and lovely.
Light smoky entry on the palate with a slightly flighty carbonation attacking it somewhat. Sweeter mid palate really delivers the ham, full and rich. Maple syrup also makes an appearance. Clean, mild bitterness on the back and an addition of a darker sharp character in the smoke. It goes on forever, with a cured, sweet smoke lingering in the aftertaste for a long time.
The feel is pretty good, but I again feel like there is a tad too much carbonation to it. I'd love to try it on cask.
Since trying it the first time, I've had cravings for the taste of this beer again. It's wonderfully unique and really well-executed. Despite its strangeness, I would most certainly drink this regularly if I could.
