Cask at Flowerpot, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. There’s a gentle aroma of ginger and vanilla. In the mouth it has a creamy texture with slight bitterness. Flavours are a massive hit of spices, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, liquorice, rasisins, fruitcake and hints of vanilla. Finish is boozy and very spicy with a little bitterness. This is rather nice.
