Bottle at home on the eve of Christmas Eve. Long day of car servicing, agreeing the contract for the CEO role and driving middle daughter and her boyfriend around. Good pour and a great rich colour in the glass. Loads of malt with a little bit of bitter hops lurking quietly in the corner. A good pint and one I would expect for the season. Now, let heavy drinking commence!

Clear deep gold with a frothy white head. No significant aroma above a touch of light cereal. Light to medium bodied, has a floral hop bite up front, caramel, fruit and malt to follow with a dry, earthy bitter finish
