Cask; Seasonal - Winter (from December). Part of the Classic Range.
Hugely flavoursome, rich and warming - this dark and mysterious brew is the ideal beer for a chill winter evening.

Cask Conditioned at The Pembury Tavern, London
Dark mahogany color. Aroma of caramel, mature, and some alcohol. Good body strength, with caramel flavor and light medicines, herbs; caramel finish. The final is quite empty. Rare example in England, but probably the yeast is not the best suitable one for this strong beer.

Cask at GBBF08. Sourish and farty aroma. Very dark brown colour. The flavour is interesting, a bit sour, but also sweet and roasted with hop bite. The sourness dominates, but it is still OK balanced.

[i] [b] Cask, Gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival Feb’ 08 [/i] [/b] Brown with more than a touch of redness there, some white bubbles on the head. Very fruity to start with but then sweetness, spice and malts start to show, quite warming. Fruits become more discernible with plenty of dried stuff figs and dates notably. I liked this but have to confess that it wasn’t quite the barnstormer I was expecting it to be.

Hand bottle at home ... from the Merton Winter Beer Festival ’08 ... Huge thanks to FIN for this ... Deep brown hint of red ... quite still but that could be the hand bottling ...light sweet malt nose ... soft sweet fruity notes with a tartness in the background ... huge winey grapes and raisins ... with a light gentle spicyness ... Alcohol doesnt show in the slightest.
