Nerabus Ale is our winter warmer; a deep ruby colour brewed with pale, caramalt, dark crystal, chocolate and wheat malt. The hops used are Amarillo from America and Bramling Cross from England. It has a black treacle, spicy flavour balanced by the use of spicy and citrusy hops.

Bottled (from AbM, old backlog). Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is nutty, fruity, wooden, floral and mildly toffeeish. Flavour is dry wood, mild nuttiness, some bitterness along with mild tartness to it. seems like some infection going on, but not overtaken the beer yet.

Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry but slightly astringent finish. Overall - Appearance and Nose great but then if dropped away.

From bottle at Craft Beer Rising 2014. It pours deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is wood, caramel, berry, toast and dark fruit. The taste is bitter-sweet, caramel, dark fruit, vinous quality, toast and earth with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not a whole lot to it... OK.

Dark brown with a thick rocky head. Quite toasty aroma, light chocolate. Chocolate and slightly toasty palate, with some diacetyl accent, evidenced mainly in a slight slick note on the tongue.
