This deep mahogany red strong ale is a classic example of a winter warmer that’s high in alcohol and rich in taste. An excellent balance of malty sweetness and hoppy bitterness, gives aromas of Christmas cake with hints of black treacle and vine fruits.

Bottle from St Peter's Brewery shop, South Elmham. Extremely dark with a small off-white head. Dark malty lower bitterness brew packing in plenty of flavour. Hops can be found, as can a light sweetness, its strength is not a huge factor but provides a good body to the ale.

Bottle online from Beers Of Europe. Pours black with a one finger thick creamy beige head. Aromas of fruit cake, chocolate, caramel, brown bread and hints of molasses. Taste has more fruit cake, chocolate, caramel, brown bread and treacle. Some plums, spice and more dry dark fruits on the finish. Sweet but not overly so and nicely balanced. A touch of warming alcohol. Full body with fairly low carbonation and smooth oily mouthfeel. Nice beer and definitely a Winter warmer ale.

Aus der Flasche im 2022-03 getrunken. Dieses fast schwarz Ale erinnert an ein WeeHeavy nur das es etwas mehr gehopft ist und dafür die leichte Süße fehlt. Auch die Malzaromen ist recht verhalten. Wenn es wärmer wird kommen die dann leicht zu vorschein. Der Körper ist allerdings auch etwas dünn.

Bottle from Suffolk Food Hall. Aroma is rich yet light (oxymoron). Chocolate and malts. Dark and inky. Cola tint. Thin microbubbled foamy light beige head. Very Porter like... chocolate, coffee and tangy sour berries. Medium bodied. Creamy. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable for sure.

In a nice bottle: a beautiful black beer with a brown, medium-lasting but sticky foam. Its aroma is not very pronounced, fresh earthy, moderately roasted malt. Rather, it is malted. Medium-bodied, well-drinkable brown. I can imagine: sipping on an English pub ... Oily, real English brown beer. Nevertheless, it is not outstanding.

Szép üvegben egy gyönyörű fekete sör, barna,közepesen tartós, de tapadós habbal. Illata nem túl markáns, friss földes, visszafogottan pörkölt malátás. Inkább csak malátás. Közepesen testes, jól iható barna. El tudom képzelni egy angol pub-ban kortyolgatva... Olajos, igazi angol barna sör. Ennek ellenére nem kiemelkedő.
