Bottle online from The Trembling Madness. Pours a hazy deep caramel brown colour with a medium sized creamy off white head. Aromas of caramel, toffee, brown bread and brown sugar. Taste is fruity and a little spicy with more caramel and brown sugar. Medium body and a gentle light fizzy carbonation. Not bad but with no distinct flavours i can detect. Edit: re-rated 17/12/22. Same notes as before, very sweet and noticeable warming alcohol present. Seems a bit all over the place. Not a fan of this beer.

Reddish brown. Aroma is dried fruit figs dates and raisin some spices like cloves deep malty caramel. Complex. Taste is heavy malty caramel and dried fruit with light sour grape/raisin and some bitter base. Some abv is felt. Long finish of basically dried fruit. Quite a banger.

Gusher! Murky amber with no head. Aroma is cakey, malty, caramel. Flavour too. Decent flavour. Shame about the gusher.

Hazy brown. Aroma is dried fruit cake dough raisin slight lime caramel dark honey some chestnut... let's say complex. Taste is slightly sweet cake dough with more dried fruit melasses and complex yeasty stuff. Overall pretty malt forward. Drinkable. Good balance. Long finish of slightly fizzy caramel and dark malt with more cake dough. I really like it.

Servida en copa. Apariencia algo "sucia", muy turbia y de color marrón oscuro. Espuma color marfil, escasa pero que aguanta bien. Aroma dulce, fruta madura, levadura belga. Los sabores siguen al aroma, con predominio de las pasas, fruta madura y especias. Dulce y de cuerpo completo, carbonatación media, textura oleosa. Final seco y con la calidez alcohólica presente.
