malts, toast, wheat, white pepper and coriander all appear before a light souring and the Bridgehead signature tea, bringing things to a splendidly dry finish. Silky smooth with a well-rounded subtlety and surprisingly sessionable pint!
were looking for some great local beer, don’t worry – they’ve got you covered. With a degree in Microbiology and Biochemistry, coupled with a background and passion for home brewing, Brewer/ Owner John VanDyk has created a really solid line-up of interesting craft beers. The impressive “MSB” (aka “Man Spa Brown”) is a big, bold and beautiful Imperial Brown Ale and should be looked upon as a decadent treat that will soothe your soul, relax your mind and arouse your taste buds. MSB looks glorious in a shaker glass – deep mahogany with garnet
hues and a thin ecru head. Bursting with delicious roast coffee, chocolate and toasted nutty aromas before presenting big bold flavours of dry baker’s chocolate, dark espresso-like roast up front with understated hints of some really interesting things – Aero mint chocolate, curacao orange, toasted cashews, caramel. It’s like opening up a box of chocolates. Delicious and velvety smooth, delivering sweetness up front and bitterness towards the end – this is an absolutely fantastic and charming beer. Slainte!
