Fine enough for a festive ale.

330mL bottle, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is earthy and spicy, with stale ginger, British toasted malt, and earthiness. Flavour brings out a stale ginger and cinnamon character upfront, followed toasted malt and dry earthiness. Tastes very stale and off. Crap.

Very clear amber, no head formation though. Has a mild pudding flavour, and quite hoppy, more than I’d like. The spices are mild. It’s almost like a winter dessert ipa. 2016 Advent.
