500ml bottle, labelled as RUBY RED CHRISTMAS ALE. I am sure it's the same beer, just re-labelled. 4.9% ABV and spiced (ginger, cloves and Christmas spice according to the front label). Anyway this was poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 26th Jan 2018. Looked lovely, bright and clear chestnut, but very little head. The aroma and taste is all about the spice input and the accompanying sweetness the spices appear to have imparted to an already sweet molasses based beer (I think). The ginger adds a hotness to the sweet brew, the cinnamon also coming through powerfully flavour wise. Enjoyed this, but it is a bit sweet, even for my sweet tooth.

Bottle from Gloucester Services. Ruby red colour with a tan head. Aroma is Christmas. Taste spicy light sweet. May be too much spice for me.
