From a 375ml can on 24/7/2018. Pours a deep dark amber/brown with a medium head. The aroma features chocolate and roasted malt, with some dank hops. In the mouth, there's a decent amount of chocolate and caramel sweetness which is met nicely by some biggish hops with some strong roasty notes and a decent dash of spice. The texture is a touch creamy and the carbonation moderate. Bold but well balanced. An excellent drop.

Tap. It seems this is the name of whatever the Winter seasonal release is. Dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of sticky spiced buns, chocolate, grapefruit, strong pine - assertively hoppy. Drier than expected with chocolate, some ash, lighter citrus than suggested by the aroma, plenty of pine. Bitterness is restrained. Good, raucous. 7373 15
