A full bodied winter ale, with hints of Nectarine Peel, Clove and a touch of coriander, all with a warming finish. The beer is brewed with honey, molasses, and golden syrup in the mash, then a collection of toasted spices including Vanilla, Clove, Cardamom, Nutmeg and Cinnamon were thrown in to the boil to give a truly festive aroma.

Cask @ Soup Kitchen, Manchester. Dark but clear ruby red ale with a creamy head. Fairly strong but still crisp and palatable, with a small smoothness. Has a cordial berry-sweetness in its nose, although its complex combination of spices combines for a drier, less sweet taste, but one with character. There seems to be a dark berry-fruit sweetness here too. The smoked influence is low.
