330ml Bottle - Brown in colour with a slight haze. Fruity and spicy aroma with hints of Christmas cake, raisins, caramel and malt. Spicy, fruity and slightly tangy taste with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins and caramel. The spice is evident in the aroma and the taste, but isn’t overwhelming. The finish is fruity and spicy with a slight sweetness. Enjoyable and rather easy to drink.

Cask @ National Winter Ales Festival 2009. An opaque brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has strong notes of spices - especially cardemomme, but also lighter notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of spices - again primarily cardemomme and medium notes of caramel and malt. A bit too spicy for my liking.

Bottle. A dark, ruby to brown beer with a nice, beige, dense head on top. "Dark" aroma with roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, a touch of hoppy bitterness and some dried fruits. Roasted, coffeeish flavor with hints of hops, as well as some dried fruit, and a long, roasted finish. Full body. A really pleasant beer. (071228)

Cask, cellar run at The Baltic Fleet, Liverpool. Brewed in Oct/Nov 2006. Black with disappearing tan head. Liquorice old ale style, fruity, mince pies. Somewhere between an old ale and an imperial stout. But no real roastedness. This has amazing fruit, plums, damsons. Spice. A bit like a Xmas pudding, but with figs and spice.
