A trip to Moore Wilsons is always a good excuse to pick up a bottle of interesting beer. My wife suggested that as her family are originally from Taieri Mouth and we had previously taken the train up the Taieri Gorge that the Emersons Taieri Gorge was the obvious choice.
Emersons have come up for a bit of criticism in recent times for selling up to Lion Brewery late last year. I
am not that precious so happy to keep drinking their brew.
The beer poured out with a nicely dark colour. Good start for a cold dark night. The flavour was actually quite complex. It started out biscuity and then you taste the spices (it is a spice ale after all). Then the whole thing gets rounded off with a smooth chocolately finish. Very satisfying. Good work Otago. They clearly know the right way to deal with cold weather.
