50cl of Christmas Ale at 7.6% from Utobeer, Borough Market. A slightly hazy golden brown with a small and rapidly fading off-white head. Rich christmas cake aroma with glace fruit, brandy, port, raisins and caramel and just a hint of vanilla. Thick, oily, texture, with a luscious booze-soaked fruit cake flavour - with chunks of apricot and pineapple as well as raisins and sultanas. The finish is warming and port-like and covers the alcohol really well. Excellent, even though Christmas was five months ago.

Golden Age is back. Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 16/05/09. Aroma of grassy hops with some malt sweetness. Flavour began with a touch of caramel, before some floral and spicy hops and a moderately bitter finish. Good.
