Color: Hazy ruby to copper, large brownish white head. Aroma: Malty, spicy and dark fruit notes. Taste: Malty, spicy, earthy, quite a lot of dark chocolate / cocoa and notes of caramel, roasted malt, nutmeg, yeast and subtle dark fruit. Floral hop backbone. Warming mouthfeel. Slightly boozy. Long lasting dry-ish, bit earthy and medium to over medium bitter finish. Over medium body, just under average carbonation. Very nice!

Pours clear brown, medium large off-white head. Scent is Spicy, loads of winter vibes still standing after all these years. Taste is sweet, loads of spices ( too much to my taste) but it does kindof match the idea and the beer. Age doesn't seem to have violated it (yet) , which is quite nice. Lasting bitterness lingers. Some age factor shows, but it works smoothly

Bottle split at the KristmasKracker Tasting, thanks to Leighton, Watford 10/12/21. Modest gushing offered on opening. Murky amber with a good sized light beige covering that stays for the show. Nose is tangy fruit esters, herb, light funk, barnyard. Taste comprises fruit esters, grains, herb, hedgerow, modest funk, floral nip, yeast tones. Medium bodied, prickly carbonation, semi drying close. Good flavour profile but the over carbonation lets this one down.

Bottle shared in Watford - picked up from online shop. Massive gusher - forced the cork out. Pours lightly hazy amber with a frothing, tan head. Lightly sweet, notes of toasted biscuits, nips of earth, caramel, brown sugar, grass, some floral notes. Light bodied, airy, with massaging carbonation. Mild yeast expression to finish, more grass, toasted toffee, earth, toasted wheat. Not bad.
