Commercial Description:
We brew this beer annually to celebrate the festive season. Each year we change the spices used in the beer to showcase new ideas. This season we used a combination of star anise, cardamon, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and love to put cheery winter carnival in every pint.

Draught at Bristol. Pours with a small white head that quick fades. The aroma was sweet malt with a creamy chocolate, brown sugar, and a touch of a clove and spice. Following the aroma the taste was sweet caramel and roasted with hops and spices. Has a touch of cloves that blends well with the other flavors. The bodied is smoothand creamy with a palate that has a bitter finish.

Draught at Bristol. Pours a clear tawny with a spare fizzy off-white head, diminishing, with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, chocolate, toast), heavy hops (herbs, spruce), light yeast (sweat, fresh leather) with notes of alcohol, clove, brown sugar, allspice and corriander. Long duration, moderate sweetness, bitterness and acidity, well balanced, mineral notes, fresh taste with raw hops and spices, creamy malt and caramel roasted nuts, toasty. Medium bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation and bitter finish.
