Full pint on cask, shared with Finn at Playhouse (JDW). Off-white head slowly diminishing over a copper coloured body, clingy lacing on the glass. Semi-sweet smell of caramel and dried fruits, inviting. Fine blended taste profile of prunes, and brittle caramel. Lightly roasted malty ending, mid-sweet. Medium bodied. Pleasing. (Colchester 23.11.2021).

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours dark ruby brown with a small, lasting off-white to beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, dried fruits, fruit cake and a touch of chocolate and very light spice. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium plus body, slight oily and chalky texture, soft carbonation. Decent brew, more a winter premium bitter/ESB than a porter.

500ml bottle: BBD end of Dec 14. I know this is supposed to be a winter brew but I poured it into a UK pint sleeve on 30th July 14 and it went down very nicely. Lovely looking beer, teak red body with a full, deep lightly tanned foaming head. Malty nose and taste with a wintery spicy flavour coming through also. Good semi-sweet malty molasses rule the overall feel to the brew: I like malty/sweeter brews and this sits nicely into my range of happiness. I like this breweries beers and this is one of their best.
