An easy drinking but full bodied ale specially brewed for the Winter months.
Lactose sugar is used in the grist to give a good residual sweetness complementing the light hop flavour.

Cask at PoW, Aberdeen. It pours deep brown with a decent, bubbly off - white head. The aroma is earthy roast, toasted brown bread, bit of caramel, treacle, malt loaf and festive spice. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, wood, leather, warming festive spice, gingerbread, brown bread and cakey malts with a smooth, cakey finish. Light to medium body and soft carbonation. Well rounded and drinkable.

On cask at the Cafe Royal. Appearance - a dark copper going into toffee. Nice fawn head. Nose - sone toffee and just a hint of chocolate. Maybe some biscuits. Taste - chocolate biscuits but a little thin. Some creaminess. Palate - light to medium bodied with a thin texture. Relatively balanced finish. Overall - not unpleasant.

Cask at the Magpie & Crown, Brentford, UK on 14th January 2011. Ruby with a white slippery head. Fruity, berries aroma. Spicy touches and smokiness together with a rich fruit palate. Zingy mouthfeel. Sweetish finish with some bitterness and smokiness, although front-mouth sweetness lingers in the aftertaste.
