Bottle from Rheged. Appearance - amber red with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - nutmeg, ginger and cloves. General spiced biscuit thing. Plums underneath. Taste - more plums, spiced biscuit. Palate - light to medium bodied with a crunchy spicy middle section that continues through the finish. Overall - decent. The spices are a bit dominant over the malt but an interesting malt bill nonetheless.

Can from Rheged. Appearance - cloudy golden a big fluffy head. Nose - pine and pink grapefruit. Slight soapy mineral water. Taste - resin, pine and fruitcake. And the fruitcake is the bit that persists. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture. The finish is dry without being palate fracturing. Overall - definitely a good example of the style.
