A can from Norway - thanks Jan Magnus! Pours a dark brown colour with a creamy beige head. Notes of roasted barley, dark chocolate and toasted bread with a hint of vanilla and grass. Delicious. Aroma not bad and mouthfeel is medium to full. A lovely Christmas beer.

From the cask at JDW Mossy Well. Very pale amber, almost light golden colour with a smallish white head. Taste is dominated by bitter orange flavours and mild malts. More like a bitter than an Amber ale. Thinnish mouth feel. Easy to drink and plenty of flavour.

Pours a hazy pale yellow with a frothy white head. Notes of orange, grapefruit and lemon in the taste. Hints of candied fruit. Light and refreshing with a medium long aftertaste. A pleasant double hoppped IPA.

A very light bitter with light colour sampled at the Mossy Well. Light carbonation. Mild bitterness, very easy drinking. Not bad.

Pours a clear mahogany colour with a tan head. A rich and complex aroma and similar flavour. Similar to the 2020 (which I recently reviewed) but with more of a fiery alcohol edge, with hints of Armagnac. A beautifully aged bottle. Notes of caramel, dried fruit, prunes and leather. Very mouth-filling with a long, rich aftertaste. A great old ale.

Purchased from Fuller’s. Pours a deep mahogany colour with a frothy tan head. Rich aromas of prune, dried fruit and caramel. Taste is rich and complex. Slightly nutty with notes of caramel, fruit cake, ripe banana, toast and oak. Very satisfying taste with a long lasting aftertaste. A superb Vintage Ale.
