Can at home, from HOTM online, 22/03/2026.
Extremely dark mahogany brown topped with a beige cap that veers to the edge over time.
Nose is cinnamon, almond, dried fruit shavings, icing sugar.
Taste comprises tangy dried fruit rinds, almond, more icing sugar, raisins, herb, light spice.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close.
Pulled off rather well although couldn't drink a whole load of this!

Lots of Christmas spice and some subtle dried fruit. Slightly thin

Not sure about this as has a real yang to it. Not convinced the beer was off but bar staff insisted it was correct. Not a fan

Dark clear brown coloured brew. Stollen is supposed to represent baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling. The stollen influence is heavy, with dense cake notes not reaching sweet levels. It's tasty enough though, and a little boozy too. Fair Christmas seasonal.
