Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines. Hazed pale copper gold. Slim leggy white foam. Blurb mentions banana bread. Well there you go. Liquid banana bread. Some “festive” spices spoil things slightly. Taste is pretty sweet and honeyed. Touch of dryness. Medium to full body. High carbonation. Light dry and light bitter finish. Tasty gear for sure.

Cask at Borough Arms, Crewe. Pours a very dsrk reddish-brown with a small beige head. There’s roasted malts and milky coffee in the aroma. In the mouth it is slightly sweet with roasted malts again to the fore, alongside lactose and chocolate. Later on there is bitter black coffee and hints of dark fruits leading to a slightly dry finish. This is quite nice.
