Excellent winter ale, full of fruits with a full bodied texture that is perfect for the season. Is deep copper in its colour with a small creamy head. Has a rich malty fruit nose, but also a nutty one, and the nuts linger for the aftertaste.

Bottle from the Bitter End Offie, Bromley. As flat as ancient man’s view of the world pour, murky copper colour. Raisin, dark fruit, dates and some chocolate aroma. Chocolate, licorice and some coffee flavours. Tastes a bit odd. Nutty-malty aftertaste. Nasty. Need to try this again just in case I got hold of a dodgy bottle.

Bottle from The Cave. Brown - dark orange colour, no head. Nose is caramel, candy sugar, bit sourness. Flavour is sour, malty, caramel, alcoholic, metallic. Very watery. No carbonation at all. Very badly done or indeed something wrong with the bottle. Either way, its undrinkable.

50cl bottle. Pours a coffee/cola colour. The nose has biscuits and cola again. The taste has a very bitter toffee note which goes from the start to the end. It’s a bit cardboardy and I’m wondering if there’s something wrong with this bottle. The palate is dry and slightly astringent throughout. I’ll need to try this one again.

Bitterer Antrunk mit leichten Getreidenoten. Gewürznoten, im Mittelteil herber. Insgesamt aber ziemlich, fast langweilig mild. Zum Ende etwas bitterer. Trinkbar aber nichts Besonderes. 9/8/8/9/7/9

Cask at the Central Bar, JDW. Pours a dark, clearish amber-ruby with a light beige head. Lightly toasted malt aroma with some sugar plums. Flavor is weird. Very grassy and flowery, with hints of bitter chocolate but not much sweetness. Some notes of plastic and mild spices. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with some throaty hops and plastic. Not super pleasant. Flavor does improve a bit as the beer warms but that’s no excuse.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Dark brown beer. A little carbonation. Malty and a little fruity. Alright.
