Festive Star. For our celebration of the Christmas holiday spirit, we took our smooth drinking and robustly flavoured Northern Star mocha porter and jazzed it up with classic warm winter spices, namely cinnamon and nutmeg. Festive Star is basically the equivalent of mulled wine in beer form, only brewed with roasted barley and coffee beans. So sit back, cosy up with your loved ones and crack a few open to make your merriest memories of the year.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Black with a small creamy off-white head. There’s some spice in both its aroma and taste, but not too much. More notable is its milky-smooth texture with light roasted malts throughout its character.
