An overly spiced winter warmer. Slightly sour mouthfeel, lots of nutmeg and corriander.

Decent taste, standard color, but I really don’t like the herbs or spices I smell. Also low body, low carbo. Not very good.

Smell and colour are pretty nice on this one. Taste is kinda dissapointing though. Pretty average.

50cl bottle. Pours brown with a generous head and gentle bubbles. The nose is distinctly ginger biscuits and maybe a note of oranges on the end - very Christmas. The taste is of more spice, this time cinnamon as well as ginger as well as the background biscuit thing. The palate is medium to full in structure, there is a nice creamy texture in the middle section and it concludes not completely cleanly, but fairly well nonetheless. Overall, I’m drinking this in the summer (albeit a Scottish Summer) and this Christmas style ale is going down very well.

Bottle. Amber with an inch of white head. Aroma of hard spices and a little lemon. Spicy taste with almost hot ginger. Coriander and cloves are also pretty clear. Mild biscuity malt, dry finish. Started at 10C which was rather too cold, but even as it warmed the spices are a bit much for me.

Pours amber with a very large, lasting head and lots of lacing.Nose shows lots of spices, I’d take a guess at ginger, coriander, cinnamon and cloves. Underneath is lots of sweet malt and hints of brandy and raisins.The spices transfer through stongly as flavours, but unfortunately not much of the malt does. Prominent grainy notes, alcohol and astringency detract from the experience.Carbonation could be higher and the body feels watery.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Moderate carbonation in this ale. Complex array of vanilla and spices and some fruity hints. Long bitter finish a tad off putting.

Interesting ale smells like peppermint. Taste has a syrupy texture to it, but very pleasant. Rated 2/3/03
