A wonderful winter warmer. Deep amber, strong ale not for the faint hearted. A magical blend of malts with Styrian hops that give a mouth-watering hop aroma, smooth and warming malt flavours with a deep, spicy hop finish. Devilishly moreish.

Cask at WHOAF 2015. It pours clear deep red-brown with a small white head. The nose is bitter-sweet, earthy, toasted grain, varnish, caramel, some ginger bread, spice and Christmas cake. The taste is rich, bitter, woody, biscuit malt, toasted grass, must, earth, over-ripe orchard fruits, wood, varnish, ginger and Christmas cake with a dry, lightly spice finale. Medium body and sot carbonation. Pretty decent.

Cask dispense into an English half pint jug at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green, Jan โ12. Pours a clear copper to amber colour with a thin white head. Sweet faint malts in the aroma, but not a lot coming out of the glass in terms of smell. On the palate, toffee, citrus - orange/grapefruit, fairly sweet tasting and not too bitter. Medium in body.

(Cask at Angleterre, 20120306) The beer poured amber and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had toffee, hops and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were herbalness, malts, toffee, molasses and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty, herbal and bitter. Quite complex taste and not only nice.
