This was poured chilled but not too chilled into a glass and revealed almost no head I gota say; sure, a darker ruby body with no carbonation but there’s gotta be something enticing in the appearance, aintiright? The aroma is burnt barley to the extent of coffee notes, slight malted cardboard flavour. Flavour is typical amber in fact, some dark pumpernickel notes and a slight sharp barley finish. This is not one of Russell’s better efforts sadly and doesn’t shine above anything in the craft beer universe.

650 ml bottle. Pours an opaque, dark brown with a medium, tan head that laces. Spicy aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, dark chocolate, roasted malt, nuts and a hint of vanilla. Very spicy flavour of nutmeg, cinnamon, roasted malt, dark chocolate, nuts and vanilla with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. A good Winter Seasonal beer, if you like spice!

Bottle - Lots of Christmas spice and chocolaty roast. Jet black brown with a decent light beige head. Light roast and some spice. Tastes much lighter and much more balanced that it’s taste.

Dark brown color with small compact head. The aroma is dusty, stale pond water. There is some flavor of roasted malt and light flavor of chocolate, but also a strong dusty character, soil, pond water, then mild spices, roasted nuts, nutmeg. Ordinary bitterness.
Not totally bad, but confused.
