It is a decent winter ale with the typical taste of yeast and bitterness from flying dog with spicy notes of cloves, cynamon, well balanced, 22.08.16

Ok, got a cheap bottle of this from chalet. Nose boozy artificial fruit. Eye is darker pale and clear. Taste is boozy as well, come on FD, you just trying to attract tickers? This is so much a alky bomb, I'm not going to comment. No sign of apple vanilla within. Maybe spices, but WTF? I'm just a ticking whore and I think this is addressed to me. There, you have it. Does intended, gets you a quick buzz. At least it was in a bottle. Haven't seen any FD in cans yet.
