Bottle on 26th October 2025 from JDS via Deliveroo. Pours an inky black with dull tan foam and scant lacing. Earthy peat, dark chocolate and smoky spices in aroma. Intense roastiness in-mouth with tangy spices, coffees and bitter chocolate. A satisfying roasty finish. Medium to full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Enjoyable.

A dense white head on a clear copper body. The nose has that xmas feel to it - raisins, malt, berries and nuts. A nice job on a Christmas ale. Spice, banana, chewy malt, ripe berries, raisins and dates are all appropriate. Hints of rum, nuts and vanilla add to the mix.

500 ml bottle from Sainsbury's, London, England. Pours a crystal clear deep orange-bronze color with a beige head and great retention. Good lacing. Lightly bitter caramel malt aroma. The taste follows the nose: Caramel malt flavor with some light bitters in the finish. Better flavor than any of the ordinary bitters I had in England. I'm not getting any of the marmalade flavor. Clean and smooth. Medium body. Medium-light carbonation. Light bitterness.
