Nothing says Christmas more than a warming pint of ESB in a cosy pub. We have taken our beloved Bampa and amplified the ABV and given it a festive look!

Cask at Kerrera, Guildford. Clear-opaque chestnut with a red tint. Thin foamy white head ultimately shrinks to a mm thick band. Aroma has grains and malts with a light caramel and a sour berry edge. Flavourwise itvhas chewy caramel, with woody bitterness and spur berry streak. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Good stuff.
