An award winning Burton Bridge Brewery winter warmer.
A tongue in cheek take on another well-known winter beer. Brewed when the weather gets colder, this barley wine flavoured beer is a favourite over the festive season.

Definitely has a bit of barleywine character. Mildly spiced, finishes a little bitter, and FAR too carbonated.

Gravicask, one-third pint, shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. Next-to-clear amber body, fair lacing from a filmy layer. Rather sweet smell of dried fruit and mid-sweet malts. Caramel, earth, and dried fruity flavours. Mid-sweet malty-fruit ending. Well bodied. Pretty good. (Burton upon Trent, 16.02.2023).

Cask at Standing Order, Derby. Pours a dark burgundy with a small off-white head and good lacing. There are complex aroma of dark fruits, cake and toffee, all diffused with alcohol. In the mouth there is briefly some sweetness before alcoholic strength overrides it, with dark fruits and spices. Traces of malts and leather too, but on the whole a little watery. Finish is spicy and boozy. This is rather nice – and not expensive either ! (Only £2.29 a pint).
