0,33l bottle at home courtesy of Saeglopur, big thanks. BB 08-2029. dark brown color, small off-white head. smells spices, molasses, earthy, marzipan, nice smell, tad on the heavy side. full body, light carbonation. tastes spices, marzipan, dried fruits, raisins, toffee, coriander, bit peppery. finishes lightly sweet with notes of spices, marzipan and toffee. nice one, quite good balance on the taste, alcohol not noticeable, gets a tad heavy overall and on the spices once it warms. good one.

On tap at Hops, Crewe. Pours a very dark burgundy with a small scummy off-white head. The aroma is mainly figs and dried fruit with a smattering of honey. In the mouth it is really complex with malts, figs, liquorice, cherries, raisins and plums all vying for attention. Some spice and a little bitterness comes through later, leading to a fruity and slightly dry finish. This is excellent !

Pours a dark brown, bordering on black, with mid-sized, lasting, tan head. Aroma is a mixture of Christmas cookie spices. Flavors follow. Clean, crisp mouthfeel.

Dunkelbraune Farbe mit beiger Schaumkrone. Malziger, fruchtiger Geruch nach Pflaumen und Trockenfrüchten. Geschmacklich malzig, röstmalzig mit Pflaumen und Trockenfrüchten. Hohe Süße mit mittlerer Bitterkeit, voller Körper mit spürbarer Kohlensäure.
