Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 7/12/09. Dark brown with reddish hints and a slight tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, a touch of caramel, cinnamon and a whiff of gloves. Sweetish flavour, with christmas pudding flavours of dried fruits, peel and nuts and a warming alcohol finish. Enjoyable.

Cask-conditioned at the Portcullis, Bristol 17/11/09. Clear gold in colour with a slight white head. Aroma of pineapple, tangerines, some elderflower and sweet malts. Flavour began with more of the malts, a hint of the roastiness harking back to Arbor’s first days, more citrus fruit and a decent, bitter finish. Very enjoyable, all the more so at £2.50 a pint.
