330ml bottle from brewery - Rich deep cloudy golden body, thin white head. Nose is figs, apricots, lots of sweet fruits to many to call. The body is syrupy, with a rich sweetness that carries the boozy warmth to the end. A little sickly, but a good winter warmer.

On cask at Coach and Horses, Dronfield - Dark red-black body, long lasting off-white head. Aroma of Peaty, smoky malt, vanilla and chocolate, almost porter like. Flavour similar but with a refreshing fruity hop finish with some acidity, and very smooth mouthfeel. Enjoyable.

On cask at Three Tuns, Dronfield - Clear golden body, thin white head. Nose is strong citrussy hops, sweet sherbet lemons, and some stone fruits. Taste is not cloyingly sweet, but sweet and smooth nonetheless. A little dry and floral on the way out. Very nice effort.
