Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - golden amber with a thin wispy off-white head. Nose - toffee, red fruit and generally bready. Of the spices, cardamom is coming through the most, they are generally subtle. Taste - so chilli up front, then into strawberry jam, followed in with toffee and light breadiness. Palate - medium bodied, a little sweet and rich through middle and finish. Then a very late smoky note. Overall - good.

Keg draught at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Light amber, clear with a small swirl of off-white head and a fair bit of lacing. Malty aroma, gentle resinous notes, getting plenty of white pepper and chili. Sweet taste, spices are subtle among the berry notes but I get a spicy ginger/pepper hit just at the end. Warming and subtle. Spicy finish with a slight body lifted by heavy carbonation. Exceptional.
