Dark red ruby color, small beige head. Very spicey aroma, pepper, ginger and clove are dominating. Dark malty flavor, very spicey with extra pepperness (and ginger) in the aftertaste. Hints of cold coffee and cough syrup. There is also some grainy kind of flavors, similar to organic beers. This could be labelled as a christmas beer.

Bottled. Really dark ruby colour, close to black. Mediumsized beige head. Aroma is ginger, vegetables and some mild sour fruits. Also some wooden and earthy notes are lurking once the beer has been poured for a while. Flavorur is spices (ginger and clove) along with some vegetables and quite much licorice. Quite much in it, but still it is quite watery to the palate.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Clear, warm, reddish brown with a small, off-white head. Very spicy aroma - almost gingerish or perhaps juniper? Medium body with sweetish, burned caramel and some lightly medicinal cough syrup notes. Dry and herbal finish. Weird but interesting. 110108

Pours a dakr brown colour with a fair ammount of light brown head. A really rich aroma of various spices, I think I made out nutmeg and cinemon, but there were many others. A very strong flavour, again a lot of spice, some cardoman came to the for, but there was also a nice malty sweetness on the after-taste. A very nice and quite different beer. Iād really like to have it again!

Bottle. Reddish brown with a slight off-white head. Aroma of ginger, cardamom and cinnamon. Flavour of fruit and more spice with not much of a finish. Ok as a one-off experience.

Bottled at Loch Ness, Stockholm. Dark ruby, rich firm head. Spicy nose with raspberry and nutmeg. Sweet and solidly malty. Crystalized sugar blends with roasty malt, red cherries and herbal spices. The mouthfeel is fairly clean, and I sense more herbal spices than real bitterness in the finish. Nutmeg seem to dominate this beer which I would enjoy even more it was a a tad less sweet.

Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with a small soapy tan head that faded quickly. The aroma was a wonderfully complex and rich mix of ginger, molasses, nutmeg, cinnamon and sweet malts. The flavor had a roasty malt base with elements of ginger, molasses, caramel and nutmeg coming though and a light spritzy fruity hop finish. The flavor while nice does not live up to the aroma. Still a very nice beer.

Dark brown beer, with some orange highlights; nearly no head. Very strange nose, combination of chocolate & tobacco on one head, and rosemary or lavender, pineresin and cypress on the other. Cardemom there too, somewhere, very aromatic. Spicey taste too, with cumulation of chocolate- and other dark malts. Again quite perfumed. Ends bitterish with tobacco notes. Somehow a British ale must remain a British ale, and that means a lot of water. Slight burning MF, slightly slick. I cannot remember how the cask version struck me, but if the bottle is any indication, it must have been quite good. Thanks, podge!
