A rich dark ale, with an underlying maltiness, and a subtle fruit aroma, ideal for keeping the chill of Winter at bay. The roasted barley and pale chocolate malt give a deep red hue, the hop combination of Progress, Styrian Goldings and Cascade create bitterness with a soft spicy yet fruity edge.

Bottle from a cafe on the sea front North Bay, Scarborough. Black colour with a tan head. Surprising light aroma of roasted malt. taste brings the bigger flavours, but surprisingly thin. I expected a bigger beer.

500ml bottle from SPAR at the Blue Dolphin caravan park near Filey. Pours a black-brown colour with a beige foam head leaving alittle lacing. Roast malt & dried fruity nose. Taste is roasted, malt, sweetish, chocolate, bready, with liquorice, dark fruits, raisins and some earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, warming roasty bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Bottle@yesprs - Dark brown pour with off white to beige head. Aroma and taste comprises dark dried fruit, sweet malt, some cocoa, light spices on the palate, almost Christmas cake like, sweet malty into the finish. Ok if a little basic.

Bottle from the Old Shambles Tavern. Appearance - near as dammit opaque black with an attractive slightly off white head. Nose - treacle, rich bready notes. Taste - molasses, tea-loaf, raisins, prunes. Palate - at least medium bodied with a big rich middle section and a rich but drying enough finish. Overall - this is good. Best from these guys.
