This dark ale has been especially for the festive season. It is a rich smooth full flavoured ale. The mulled spice adds a warm and aromatic flavour to the ale.

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb and Stuu666. Pours dark brown with a short-lived thin off-white head. Aromas of mulled wine spice and dark roast malt. Taste is more of the same, liquorice. Spice more present on the nose than the taste. Thin finish.

Bottle shared at chriso’s Post-GBBF 2014 Tasting - London. Pours amber-brown with a huge, frothy tan head. The nose has light wintery spices and semi-dark malts. It has a lightly sweet but quite odd flavor, with notes of black currant, light rubber and...ketchup. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes awkwardly with spices, earth and toast. Not an out and out winner.

(Bottle) Clear very dark brown black with ridiculous frothy grey tan head. Aroma dried fruit, toffee, smokiness. Light body well carbonated. Unusual flavour profile with some sweet almost bubblegum notes at the start, quickly developing spicy notes and then transforming to a rather dry, vinous and smokey finish. Overall, unusual, a little odd, but quite pleasant.
