Marks & Spencer Commissioned Brews At Home Beer#3 of 3. Last up this evening a clear but very dark amber brew from Adnams. They've nailed the winter ale style here, which is fruity associated with the season, with a notable spice, has a light bitterness, and is traditionally designed by the brewer.

500 ml bottle, from M & S Food, Brighton. Brewed by Adnams for M & S. ABV is 4.2%. Dark brown colour, moderate off-white head. Spicy aroma. Spicy flavour too, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and allspice, also notes of raisins, fruit cake, orange zest and lemon zest. Not too sweet, but too low ABV for a winter warmer.
