Has a novelty fruity tang about it, woody dryness, a little berry, booze, background toffee, lightly toasted malts. Relatively light on the palate. Drinks nicely.

Cask at Ealing Beer Fest 25. Aroma has booze soaked dark fruit. Underlying malts. Opaque amber. Thin foamy white head. Flavourwise it has dark fruits and Christmas pudding malta with a boozy streak. Medium bodied. Soft carbonation has a latent prickle of fizz. Long slightly astringent finish. Decent. Warming. A tad too restrained.
