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@Akkurat, Stockholm. Amber colour with a minor head. Aroma is caramel malts, some toffee, mild nuttyness as well as some bitterness lurking. Flavour is toffee, caramel malts, some wood and mild fruity and earthy notes. Quite pleasant fruity and floral bitterness in the finish.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 15/02/2011. Amber with a slight, off-white head. Fruity, slightly sweet aroma with some orange hop and earthy malts. Flavour caramel and red fruits, with a slight nuttiness and decent, bitter finish with a bit of a hop kick. Good.

Gravity cask at the Bree Louise. Pours a clear, dark copper with no head. Holds a malty, fruity aroma with ripened plums, cherries and raisins. Really has a great flavor, better than I expected. Tons of fruit, like those in the nose plus grapes and oranges, with subtle bread notes and faint, citrusy and leafy hops. Medium to full in body with just the slightest hint of carbonation. Finishes medium sweet with slight warmth, lots of fruits, mild stickiness, mild alcohol. Overall a tasty beer.

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Copper colour. Spicy hoppy nose. Mid dry with soft, vital mouthfeel. Mildly roasty with a whiff of coffee under spicy, hay-like hops. Medium bodied with light notes of butter. Good spicy bitterness. Lovely!

(Cask at Market Porter, Southwark, London, 28 Nov 2009) Nut brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty, nutty nose with dried fruit and caramel. Malty, nutty taste with notes of dried fruit, raisins, caramel and dusty hops in the finish. More than medium body, malt sweetness throughout. Nice and well balanced beer with a solid malt foundation and a good spicy bitterness to balance. Nice one.

Cask (Railway Arms, Alton) - Amber/gold in colour. Malty and slightly fruity aroma. The taste is grainy at first with malt dominating but then becomes more hoppy with citrus notes being evident in the finish.
