Black, winter spice, orange zest.
Brewed with a blend of four malts (Pale, Crystal, Chocolate, Roast Barley) and Bramling Cross hops, spices and fruit for a truly complex bottle-conditioned and well balanced winter stout. Spicy orange on the nose with rich chocolate notes and creamy smooth to drink: the perfext Christmas beer and a real warmer for the winter months.

BCA, consumed 15-01-09 A bottle that I had around my next door neighbours and methinks that I may have actually been the one to have taken this around there for a beer festival meeting and forgot to rate it until now. Pours dak brown with an off white head. Good fullsome stout that whilst carrying a decent spiciness also had a nice earthy quality. Plenty of maltiness, even a bit creamy at times, the inevitable chocolate comes through but this was actually a really decent beer. A6 A4 F7 P4 OV15

[500ml bottle - bottle conditioned.] Deep chocolate brown in colour, with a creamy tan head that quickly fadied to a ring; lactic aroma with some chocolate; silky milk choclate flavour and texture with a smokey dryness. Warming finish with hazelnuts and earthy malts. An excellent stout.
