A deep chestnut-coloured ale, perfect for enjoying by the fire on the crisp, wintery evenings of Advent leading up to Christmas. Our Advent Ale is brewed with the finest English malted barley and local hops, and has a refreshing, fruity nose, a sweet liquorice flavour and a rich dark chocolate aftertaste.

Bottled. Deep ambery brown colour with a small beige head. Aroma is chocolate, some sweet malts, mild spiciness, dried fruits and some mild nutty and toasted notes as well. Flavour is roasted, some slight spices, mild nutty and a bit wooden tones. Nice aroma, and the flavour is nice too, also more settled than the aroma.

Pours a deep mahogany, approaching black colour, with a foamy beige head, and a sweet malt aroma. The mouthfeel is nice and smooth, if a little thin, with dark fruits and roasted malt in the mix, and perhaps the tiniest hint of chocolate in the finish

50cl bottle from LIDL.
Thin creamy beige head. Clear almost black pour. A bit herbal but in a nice way.
