Bottle shared in London - big thanks to Scopey. Pours clear, rich orange with a slim, creamy topping. Good aged malts in the nose, some oxidation, marmalade. Medium sweet flavour with lot metallic notes, tangy citric notes, old and dried out bread. Medium bodied, lightly oily, with soft carbonation. Finishes with more oily notes, dried orange peel, old bread crust. Not that bad. (November 2017)

From old tasting notes. Translucent amber, brown color. Small beige head. Fruity, maple-like malt aroma. Soft tart earthy malt flavor has a warming, clingy mouthfeel. Very complex, with a winey character that is balanced by a big hoppy finish and a noticeable strong alcohol prescence. Outstanding!

High Wycombe House Warming. Thanks to Paul for this antique. Lightly hazy amber beer no real head. Palate is smooth and dry, modest carbonation. Oxidised caramel. Ripe fruits. Smooth finish. Shows it’s age but doesn’t lack for flavour.
