Available filtered and pasteurised in 500ml bottles. Made between October and March.
Rich ruby coloured beer, almost red in bright light. Complex fruity nose with hints of candy. Luscious and full bodied, with a powerful mouth-coating flavour leading to a bittersweet, vinous finish.
Ingredients: Maris Otter pale ale malt and crystal malt with Young’s unique cane sugar mix added to the copper with Fuggle and Golding hops.

Deep dark brown color with some orange tones. Small head. Malty aroma with a hint of cinnamon. Malty with some roasted bitterness, caramel and cinnamon. Warming, in spite of its modest alcohol content. Buttery, bitter finish.

From old tasting notes. Splendid garnet red color with a creamy beige head. Small bubble carbonation. Toasted malt aroma reminiscent of baked bread. Sweet toasted malt flavor with a hint of treacle and brandy. Bittersweet finish where the hops come through. Long bitter aftertaste. Hearty to say the least. Good for the cold winter nights of London.

Wintery ESB with dark copper colour and dense, light beige head. Full and pleasant malty aroma, caramel, nuts, cinnamon, pretty rich taste, malty with a dry hop bitter finish. More a strong ale than a true ESB too me.

Brown 500ml bottle, 5.2% and brewed in Wansworth according to the neck label, best before 31st Oct 2007, drank on a cold and wet 14th June 2007, it feels like winter. Poured into a pint sleeve glass. Rich ruby red, dark mahogany colour with a well formed off white head. Very little aroma, malts and toast maybe. The taste is malty and bitter, with a burnt coffee/toffee feel to it. Fairly dry in the mouthfeel and not much of an alcohol bite to it. I was expecting more from this beer, having in the past, drank it on cask.

0.5L bottle pours amber with tan head and moderate lacing. The aroma has a nice barleywine sense to it with tasty dark fruity esters and some vague spice. The taste seems like a very mild barleywine with fruity esters of raisins, boysenberries and sweet cherries. There’s also hints of roasted malts, chocolate malts and vague winter ale spices. Not big and bold enough to be a real winter warmer but a suitable warm up.

Sweet beery smell. Appearance is cross between rootbeer and dark ginger ale. Taste is rather alky. Malty and strong, too! Finish is medicine linger. Nice label on this bottle, I heart sunsets and sunrises. Heheheh.
