Bottle at a ChrisO Tasting - London. Pours clear, red-brown with a fine, foamy head. Big ’winter spice’ aroma. Medium sweet, spicy with cinnamon, light leaves, some bread. Light to medium bodied with average, very smooth carbonation. Light dryness to finish, plenty spicy, more cinnamon, some nutmeg. Very solid winter/Christmas-style beer.

Bottle from Tomlinsons, Inverness 071212
Chestnut brown, off white big fizzy head, dissipates to thin layer, over carbonated, some lacing
Aroma - Strong cinnamon and nutmeg, underlying vegetative smell, some dark malt
Taste - Strog cinnamon, nutmeg, bit of clove, over spicy, some dark caramel malts, hint of dark fruits, rather unbalanced, not a fan of this
Palate - Medium carb and body (after carbonation has settled down), quite creamy but without the background of malt flavour to back it up, spicy palate, still too fizzy. Finish - over dry, rapid strong spicy finish
Overall - Overcarbonated, rather unbalanced, the underlying beer seems rather dull and it has been overspiced to compensate. Didn’t work for me.....I tipped half the bottle down the sink

Cask-conditioned at the Hillgrove Porter Stores, Bristol 11/12/09. Dark brown with a hint of ruby and slight tan head. Aroma of liquorice, dark chocolate and fruit, with a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon. Flavour was rich and slightly sweet, with a christmas pudding mix of fruit, nuts and spice, more liquorice and bitter finish. A very enjoyable Christmas beer.
