Bottle, Victa Belvedere, shared with heavy. Poured a clear dark amber body wtih a white head. Mild sweetish doughy aroma, meh. Soft, flat taste, doughy maltiness, herbal, perfumey hoppiness. OK, has enough taste for 3.4%, but I see no reason to purchase a 3.4% beer for this price ever again.

Bottled 500ml. -from Vrutak Zagreb. Darker golden coloured, small white to off-white head, whiff of caramel in the nose. Sweet malty, caramel, slightly herbal and nutty with rather bitter finish. Watery palate; not offensive, pleasant in a way but just watery.

Frothy beige head quickly left a cover on a lightly effervescent, copper coloured body. Very fruity aroma, slightly hoppy. Medium to thin body, crisp, clean & a little tickle on the tongue. Nondescript fruitiness, relatively sweet on the palate with a long bitter, hoppy back. Not very Hoppy & not very Christmassy

Cask handpump at pub in Thame, Oxon, Wednesday 14th December 2016 at our works Christmas lunch Pours chestnut brown in colour with a slim white head. Malt and fruit dominate in this Christmas offering, the mild spiciness adding to the festive feel. Hops only notable by their absence. Ok but if being critical slightly past its best, not too tired and perfectly drinkable but just lacking a little freshness and zip. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov11 3.0

500ml Bottle: BBD 31 Oct 17, shared with my son on 11th Dec 16 (at home). Amber/copper coloured beer with an off-white head. Aroma of malty molasses and dark berries. Taste was also malty, semi-sweet and again with traces of dark berries. Slightly disappointed to be honest, not very Christmasy at all.
