This seasonal beer is a limited edition brewed for the short days and long nights of winter. The full body resulting from fermentation in ‘stone Yorkshire squares’ and the luxurious malt character, which will appeal to a broad range of drinkers, is balanced against whole-dried Fuggle and Golding hops with nuances and complexities that should be contemplated before an open fire.

Good every year, but disappointing that I seldomly have checked in. Nice break from the IPAs today, though that will change soon.

A fairly recent purchase at the nearest craft beer store, I have cooled off this 2019-2020, 30th Anniversary 550 ml bottle. I'm using my New Belgium snifter, the pour is a clear, blush-red body with a healthy head of snow white foam. I see a very active carbonation also. A decent scent, ripe fruit and baked bread I determine. And with a taste I get a bit of plum, malt, crackers and a touch of the hops. There is also an unusual vinous finish, not a plus or a negative, just a presence. Can't say I'll be running out to buy another but it is an okay brew.
