2/3/2019. Bottle from Hopsters, Ipswich. Pours very dark brown with an average sized off-white to beige head. Aroma of Christmas spices, pepper, vanilla, chocolate, liquorice and berries. Medium plus sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, average combination. Pretty good.

330ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - thank you very much!]. Opaque, darkest brown colour with average to huge, frothy, rapidly diminishing, beige head. Spicy and slightly roasty, dark malty aroma, notes of ginger, cinnamon, vanilla, liquorice. Taste is dry, roasty dark malty and spicy, notes of liquorice, hints of ginger and vanilla; slightly overcarbonated.
