Sample, thanks fonefan! Very dark brown, small sized beige head. Treacle, gingerbread and caramel up front. Very sweet with near full body and rounded, viscous mouthfeel. Spruce, ginger, syrup and treacle. Artificial and rather cloying, but not full blown pastry horror.

Thanks fonefan! Deep copper colour, small off-white head. Aroma is ginger, some syrup, cocoa and mild nutty tones with a wee bit of aloe vera. Flavour is ginger, cinnamon and some cocoa and mild nutty tones with a bit soapy elements to it.

Draught @ Sparkle brewpub, Quiberon. Pours very dark brown, tight beige head. Aroma of heavy spice, Scottish cake. Flavour profile brings rich, moist, rum-soaked, spice-heavy fruit cake.. big ginger presence.. interesting.. has a Scotch wee heavy feel.. nice.
