The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of berries, while the flavor has strong notes of nuts and some notes of cowberries as well as caramel, on a sweet malty background, leading to a dry slightly bitter end. omhper (12245), Stockholm, Sweden

Lightly sweet to start with a dry finish, some light roast and acidity towards the finish. Its OK, but lacks depth of flavour. imdownthepub (5163), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 24, 2003 Dark ruby colour. Uses rye in the mash. Malt is the dominant feature of this beer. Nutty overtones. Sweetish finish. I certainly wouldn't describe it as "clean and refreshing", nor would I expect a winter ale to be. In fact, I'm not entirely clear what Adnams are aiming at with this beer - a red "autumn" style or a "winter old" style. It seems to fall between two stools. Not bad, but nothing special. Handpump, The Cherry Tree, Woodbridge, October 2003.
