Winter Shield provides some internal warming! The three classic English hops used in the beer and the slightly higher alcohol content will take you back to the old Burton Ales. The strength of the beer is perfectly balanced by the traditional hops giving a beer brimming with flavour and character to chase away those winter blues.

NWAF 25 Jan 13. Gyldenbrun. 0 skum. Grei sviske/plommearoma. Smaken er uidentifiserbar frukt. Litt syrlig og karamellaktig etter hvert.

Cask by handpump, shared half pint at NWAF. Clear dark amber coloured body. Dotted spots to the glass. Earthy malts and a spicy touch to the nose. Taste of marmalade with caramel malts beneath. Slightly roasted bitter ending. Soft in the mouth. Fits the winter season alright (Manchester, 25.01.2013).
