Bottle at home in the spirit of Christmas, cellared this for a year. Pours opaque, orangeish golden with a quickly dissipating head. Nose is spicy, herbal, grapey with bubblegum hints. Taste is sweetish, malty, boozy, estery with surprisingly intense spicy, phenolic hints and hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

dark amber color, good white head, great rentention, and lacing. Aroma is full of ripe apples, and plums, and a nice yeastiness with a touch of alcohol. Mouthfeel is velvet, and super smooth. Flavour is very smooth, and silky, almost creamy, with big notes of apple, caramel, plums, and bready yeast. Wow, super nice beer, Cabonation is a little high, but otherwise outstanding.

Wonderful beer. Been a while since I indulged, and I definitely missed out chasing ticks all the time instead of drinking these beers I love. Florals, light lemon and a hint of oak. Clove. Deep golden pour with ok head and lacing. Balance is great. Light sweet finish. Awesome beer. Also best Christmas beer ever. Tap at Churchkey.

Pours a hazy amber colour with a frothy white head. Complex aroma of exotic fruits, apricot, grapefruit, banana, yeast, spices, hops, some alcohol. Flavour is exotic fruit sweetness, yeasty, some alcohol warming. Modest bitter, spicy aftertaste. Very interesting and enjoyable brew!

Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco e di vegetazione. L'intensità olfattiva è molto elevata e la maniera in cui permane è considerevole. Il mantello birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine, con carbonazione. Il liquido si presenta velato. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è strutturato e articolato. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è lunga. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, frutta secca, pane cotto di recente, resina, agrumi, frutta passita, mandorla fresca, spezie, curry, arancia, cream caramel, vaniglia, albicocca tabacco e alcol presente.
