The beer is very much an old school barley wine, malty, spicy, a bit like an upside down pineapple cake… This sticky beast will certainly warm your cockles to finish off this long winter season.

Can from Cork & Cask. Hazy deep golden body with a few flecks beneath a beige head that quickly fades. Low carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of toffee, raisin, honey, syrup and orange rind. Flavour of caramel and sweet, whisky notes. Medium body with a sticky mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is tremendous; the whisky influence is subtle yet complex. A sweet, rich, indulgent treat.

Clear mahogany brown colour with thin head. Aroma of dried fruits, almost like a fruity malt loaf. Taste is jammy and sweet with a nice malt flavour too. Slightly sticky. Just a bit too sweet
