A dangerously drinkable malty hoppy seasonal brew.

On keg at oxy184. In general it looks like a barley wine but doesn’t smell like it. The taste does however deliver some of that marmalade even if less intense than preferred.

Bottle from Deeside Drinks Emporium. It pours clear deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is soft, dried fruits, sultana, toasty brown sugars, fruit cake, honey cake, spice and toffee. The taste is bitter-sweet, toasty, brown sugar, dried fruits, fruit cake, honey, toffee, earth, spicy action, alcohol boost and leather with a a warming finish. Medium+ body and fine carbonation. Not much depth, but decent enough.

Dried fruit and malt aroma, quite sweet. Flavour is very sweet, fruity and warming. Smooth and quite thick texture.

Bottle at Craig’s. Pours clear brown with no head. Aromas of alcohol and leather, toffee, dark fruit and sherbet. Taste is sweet, bit too sweet, and woody. Then finishes bitter. OK, bit cloying.
