A deep amber premium bitter, traditionally brewed using only the finest quality of Stonehenge Spring Water, barley, wheat, crystal and black malts, whole hops and the brewery’s own top-fermenting yeast. The rich composition of malty and fruity flavours together with the aroma hops gives the beer just the right warmth and flavour – explicitly Santa’s choice!

Cask at the George, Croydon. It pours clear brown with a small beige head. The nose is bitter-sweet, caramel, toasty sugars, wood, berry and nut. The taste is smooth, fruity sweetness, berry, wood, leather, mild spice, light bitterness and cereal with a short, dry finish. Light-medium body and soft carbonation. Not a whole lot to it, but it’s drinks pretty nice. Alright.
