First brewed in 1998 to celebrate Shepherd Neame's tercentenary, this copper-bronze, bottle conditioned beauty is an intense yet uniquely intricate offering thrice-hopped during the brewing process. This adds rich resinous notes and spikes of citrus to a moreish strong ale already rife with notes of liquorice, Masala wine, caramel and spicy orange. A frisson of dark fruit freshens the finish.

Pours a clear light copper colour with no head. Aromas of caramel, fruit cake, a little spice and a little alcohol. Taste has the same notes again, caramel, fruit cake, alcohol, more spice, some burnt toasty bread and also a touch of sweet honey on the finish. Medium body, average carbonation and smooth oily mouthfeel. Very nice winter warmer.
