12/4/2025. Bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield. Pours clear deep amber brown with a creamy/frothy tan coloured head. Good pour. Aroma is Christmas spice, malt, brown bread, orange. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness, light sours. Quite watery, average carbonation. Looks and aroma were good, but didn’t enjoy the taste.
