November to January.
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.

Cask at the Dove Street Inn Winter Festival, 2017. Pours dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, roasted malt, and Christmas brandy butter with a touch of light spice. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation.

Cloudy rust coloured, huge head of foam despite being pulled from the fridge and poured carefully.
Bitter hops and sourness in the smell.
Very bitter starting off, moves to the sour side, actually goes back and forth during the session, with some funky notes thrown in
Champagne like carbonation doesn’t help.
I don’t see any dating of any sorts on the bottle.
Weird drinking experience.

500 ml bottle from Beermongers. Pours a somewhat cloudy orange color with a large white head. lots of slow gushing on this one so be careful. The aroma is barnyard straw and fruit. A big soft bretty flavor, berries, light sugary malts. Very funky. An interesting brett sweeter IPAish beer. Good.

Sampled from a 19 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark toffee color with a medium sized foamy orange-white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was tart and sour Pez. The flavor was dry, tart and sour Pez, chalk and had a medicinal presence. Long dry, tart, medicinal, Pez finish. Somewhat overcarbonated and thin. Pretty awful.

On tap at The Wellington in Birmingham, pours dark amber / orangey brown. Aroma is light - of toffee and toasted malt. Flavour is more full and complex, featuring toffee, brown sugar, spices (nutmeg, cinnamon) and toasted malt.

Cask. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel as well as lighter notes of alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and honey, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

Cask. Clear amber golden with a small off-white head. Rather neutral aroma - perhaps a little nuts. Medium body, nuts and a little caramel with a vaguely fusty edge. Rather alcoholic finish. 200110
