Hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, mild fine carbonation. Smooth malts, pretty aged tasting!! Little caramel. A very light touch of gueuzey sourness and wet wood. Light semi dry finish. Odd, Just tastes old!

Bottle at the ChrisO Snow Tasting, London - thanks to some generous bloke, obviously. Pours lightly fuzzy auburn with a fine, white cream head. Bready malt nose, some ripe fruits. Medium sweet flavor with light leaves, earth, semi-dark malts, dry fruits. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderate warmth in the finish, faint tangy berries, dry sweet bread, mellow earth. Pretty OK stuff on the whole.

Bottle at ChrisO Snow Tasting, thanks to Ian. It pours cloudy deep amber with a tiny beige head. The nose is sweet, over-ripe plums, raisin, prune, red berry and brown sugar. The taste is caramel, toast, decent bitterness, red berry, date, prune, salted nuts, citrus peel, soap and some alcohol warmth in the finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Good balance. Solid winter warmer.

Bottle, thanks to Ian at Chriso Snow Tasting 20/01/13. Hazed dark maber, thin off white head that clears to a few bubbles around the edge. Nose is spiced apple, berry fruit, strawberry jam, hint of cinammon. Taste comprises strawberry liqourice chews, figgy jam, spice, berry fruit. Medium bodied with bite, soft carbonation, fairly smooth, some bitterness in a spice finish. Decent.

33cl bottle from The Goods Shed, Canterbury. Hazy deep ruby colour with a thin white head. Fruity red fruit aroma. Spicy in the mouth. Some good hop on the finish and some biscuit too. Like strawberry shortcake. rather nice. Yep pretty good.
