At the brewery, warm into a pint glass, 19/11/14. Dark mahogany brown with no head. Nose is spice, clove, cinammon, winter cheer, stewed red berries. Taste comprises treacle toffee, spice, light whisky notes evident, tangy red berry compote, clove. Medium + body, warming beverage, sweet licks tempered with bitterness and a stroke of booze in the close. Nice mulled blend on a winters evening.
