473mL can. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Grassy vanilla on the nose. Flavour is herbal with gentle vanilla and graham cracker malts. Fairly uninteresting.

Not english, red and oily. Smooth and a bit creamy, but clearly relying on some other oily thing. Sk co-op

Vanilla and random christmas spices. Like most winter ales but with vanilla. Murky red colour. Good head. Light oak finish. Tap at brewery.

355ml bottle. Pours a clear copper with a thin, short lived, beige head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, vanilla and nuts. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, vanilla, nuts and light spice with a slightly dry, bitter hop finish. Light to medium body with a creamy texture and soft carbonation. Ok, but boring.

Copper color. Malty and kinda flavorless. Some toffee notes. Very boring beer. Re-rate on tap at brewery at it is worse. Some weird nutty chemical flavors are going on. Cloying. Pass

Poured from 330mL bottle. Clear copper brown with small off-white head. Vanilla, malt, toffee nose. Buttery vanilla cookie taste to start that transforms into mild hoppy taste. No finish. Fairly thin. Buy again? Maybe.

Pours copper with light head. Light sugary aroma. Flavors of toffee and malt, and Xmas pudding. As stated, a bit thin but OK.

Bottle - Malty with significant vanilla aroma. Clear amber hue with minimal head. Toasted malt taste with a ton of vanilla but not too sweet, ever so slight bitterness in the finish. A little too carbonated for my taste, but a nice tasting winter ale.
