0.5 l bottle from 'Brauart', best before April 2026. Clear, deep ruby with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity and a little herbal-spicy aroma of orange jam, strawberry, toffee and a touch of gingerbread. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently fruity and a little herbal-spicy taste of orange jam, strawberry, plum, cinnamon, gingerbread, some toffee and traces of chocolate, followed by a short, moderately bitter, minimally dry finish. Medium to full body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pleasant Christmas ale, moreish and saturating, very well-balanced.

Bottiglia. Sentori di sottobosco vanno a dare soddisfazione al naso. L'intensità olfattiva è un timido profumo e la costanza olfattiva è appena percepibile. Il cappello di schiuma non è molto persistente. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido si presenta velato. Il colore è ambrato carico. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è contenuto. L'intensità gustativa è normale, con continuità sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Al gusto vengono donati toni di caramello, miele, frutta secca e agrumi.

As I can't seem to upload my previous ratings from another site I'm starting again and rating everything.

Good pour but perhaps a bit cold from being stored in my garage. I love this beer, hops, malt, spice and rich fruit. A proper English strong ale.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours a wonderful deep red, with fine whitish foam. Aroma is intensely malty, caramel. Body is average, with limited carbonation. Taste is medium-high sweet, but not too redundant in the final, which remains average in intensity.

Bottle online from Beers Of Europe. Pours a deep copper colour with a large thick foamy beige head. Aromas of caramel, dark fruits and Christmas spice. Taste has toffee, caramel and more Christmas spices. Slightly sweet finish. Full body, low carbonation and smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Nice and Christmasy beer. I think i slightly prefer their Winter Ale though.

Aus der Flasche im 2022-03 getrunken. Dieses dunkel braune Ale braucht etwas Temperatur, um seinen maligen Charakter zu zeigen. Es ist recht süßig, wil der Körper recht verhalten ist.
