[i] Bottle from Onlyfineales.com, had this 28-12-07 [/i] Some sasparilla leaps from the nose of this very dark brown verging on black beer with beige coloured head. Yeast and malt are the first to show in the mouth but these are quickly swamped by those sticky fruits, figs, dates, then toffee, its lovely and having had a good number of christmas beers this year and depairing over some of them this has resored my faith in the christmas beer. Finished with more fruit, soft mouthfeel very, very nice.
