When the nights are drawing in and a chill bites the air there is nothing better than a strong winter ale to warm you through.
DB WINTER RUBY is such a beer!
At 5.2% abv DB WINTER RUBY is a strong, dark seasonal ale with a smooth, rich, toffee and caramel flavour laced with a hint of banana on the nose. Truly a bitter to savour on a cold winters’ eve...

Cask at the Victory Inn, Brighton. It pours deep ruby-brown with a small white head. The nose is wood, dried berry, caramel, light jamminess and vinous notes. The taste is bitter-sweet, wood, berry, dark fruit, caramel, cherry cola, brown bread and varnish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Tasty and well-balance. Really, rather nice!

Chelmsford Winter Fest. Clear brown beer, good off white creamy head. Immediate sweet fresh apple. Light dry palate. Toffee malt. Green as green can be!

Cask at Euston Tap, London. A ruby coloured pour with a medium white head. Fruity aroma. Tastes fruity, caramel, slight sweetness, smooth, rather thin and lacking in complexity for me. I quite like Dorking but this was nothing to write home about.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2011. Decent drinking strong ale with some biscuit. Decent if a little syrupy. Quite bitter on the finish. Ilked it. Biscuit

Cask at the Wenlock Arms, London on 15th November 2009. Dark ruby, tan head of foam. Caramel malt with an alcoholic taste if drunk too fast. The patient drinker is rewarded with a delayed, but dryish bitter sweet finish. Mouthfeel somewhat creamy. A nice pint to sup at the fireside when there’s 2ft of snow on the ground outside.
