Cask at POW, Farnborough. Vague spicy aroma, obscured by a smokey fire. Reddy chestnut. Virtually no head - a thin white thread. Malty with a sweet tang, before the spices, particularly the ginger, make themselves known. Some sugariness too. The problem is I didn't read the description and I don't particularly like ginger. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carb. Long dry and somewhat asgringent finish. OK. Despite the ginger and spices it's still on the bland side.

Cask at The Claret. It pours clear deep copper with a small off-white head. The aroma is rich, bitter - sweet, festive spice, Christmas cake and loads of gingerbread. The taste is rich, wood, festive spice, nice Jamaican gingerbread character throughout, leather and dried fruits with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty tasty spiced ale. Well done.

50cl bottle from the Home Brew Shop, Aldershot. Deep amber with a ring of white head; the aroma has ginger and yeast; sweet fruity flavour with some light Christmas spices; and a dry herbal finish with a lingering touch of ginger. Not bad.

50cl bottle- Copper coloured with a slight haze. The aroma is malty and spicy with a mild but pleasant ginger scent. The taste is malty with ginger also featuring along with a nice light hoppiness. The spice is noticeable but not too overwhelming and nicely balanced. Very drinkable.
