There’s a spicy signature to this incredibly complex cockle-warming winter ale. The nose is reminiscent of raisins, dates and molasses while the palate is vinous with tannin-like notes of leather, vanilla, apricots and a hint of rustic Armagnac on the finish. An awesome after-dinner drop.

A red copper ale with a thick frothy lacing light mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with light grassy hops, treacle, OK. In mouth, sweet caramel malt with light grassy hops, treacle, pleasant, a bit oxidized.
