Keg at GI, Shoreditch. It pours clear deep mahogany brown with a small beige head. The aroma is festive spice, warming, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, donuts, leather, fruit cake and wood. The taste is dry, bitter, festive spice, toothy, woody, leather, vanilla, cinnamon, chai spice, cinnamon and some alcohol with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Decent stuff.

One-third pint on a sample tray, keg at Goose Island Shoreditch. Misty copper coloured body, filmy layer, spotty lacing. Mid-sweet caramel nose joined by dark fruits, inviting. Mixed taste profile of mid-sweet brown malts and dried fruits followed by subdued Belgian yeast strain towards the finish. Rounded mouth feel and fine bodied. Likable. (London 11.01.2019).
