A lovely imperial red. Was pleasantly surprised that this is not another \"Christmas cake\" seasonal ale. The well balanced, punchy hop and malt nose carries through to the taste profile. Fruity hops, resin, bready malt with a nice touch of rich caramel, hints of nutmeg and cloves all work together for a great winter beer.

Аромат слегка карамельный, хмелевой но не сильно фруктовый, хорошо чувствуется патока. Цвет темно красный, пена мутно золотая, быстро исчезает. Вкус в основе патоки с оттенком меда, отчетливо ощущается молочная карамель. Средняя для Ипы хмелевая горечь. На послевкусие есть оттенок солода. Пиво весьма сладкое, карамель еще долго ощущается во рту. Также напиток слегка подсушивает полость рта. В целом отличный имперец от мира Ипы.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up in the US about 10 years ago. As YuleSmith. Pours mostly clear, rich amber with a thick, creamy off-white head. Moderately sweet, lots of gooey pine, toasted malts, dried orange peel. Full bodied, oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Sticky and resinous to finish, quite malty, loads of pine, dried and ripened citrus peel. Nice old school malt and hop bomb.

On tap at CBC, Clerkenwell on 18th October 2019. Russet copper with pale tan scantly lacing foam, shallow in depth. Spicy cherries and plums in an invitingly smooth fruity aroma. Rich and intense cherry, ginger, spice and soft fruits in-mouth, with a hot peppery note. Spicy, fruity finish. Velvet smooth on a full body. Absolutely superb.

Caña en el Lúpulo feroz Oviedo 08..10..2019. Color marrón claro muy turbio con espuma beige que desaparece casi por completo al poco tiempo. Sabores intensos maltosos y cereales con toques de cereales rústicos tipo centeno algo tostados. Toques suaves de caramelos y lupulados maduros que dejan suave amargo final algo seco y duradero. Cuerpo medio a intenso con buena sensación alcohólica desde el principio y bastante sabor, más menos fina seca al final y no muy amarga. Bastante buena para repetir sin duda.
