Broughton Winter Fire

Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Very dark amber with a small off white head. Sweet fruity aroma combining berry, a little citrus and some ashiness. Sweet malty taste, slightly medicinal, with a plummy sourness. Slight bitterness. Unusual and quite appealing.

Cask in the state bar. Aroma is quite sweet, hints of apple and grassy notes. Taste is similar, quite thin though which made it very drinkable.

Cask@Pigs Ear BF 06. Light caramel and light berry fruit notes. Lighty sweet. Mouthfeel is quite round and balanced, but a bit light in the dpeth of flavour dperatment.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Dark brown with a low white head. Appley aroma with touches of hay and toffee. Quite thin and somewhat lifeless flavour of green apples dead grass and toffee-sauce. Mild finish of hay and light chocolate.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Deep ruby. Sweet and caramelly. Mild and malty with medium body and soft mouthfeel. Soem caramelized sugar and the lightest touch of figs. Carefully salty grassy finish. Mildly warming.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Dark brown colour leaning in the mahogany direction, pale brown, frothy head. Malty nose with dark fruit, blackberries and a hint of chocolate. Malty taste with wild berries, dark fruit and some chocolate. Rather sweet with lots of berries. Nice beer, but from a beer with the name Winter Fire, I would expect a little more ... fire.

Cask handpull at Wenlock. Ruby colour with thin beige head. Lots of fruity malt on this. Some good malt, fruits are red and dark. Some spicey hop on finish. Juicy, rounded in mouth. Nice enough.

Pint pulled at The Market Porter in Borough (London), dark brown with ruby tints and a beige bubbly head. Aroma is caramal and fruity. Very very smooth palate with a medium mouthfeel. Molasses sweetness that isn’t too much with some pleasant woody notes. On recommendation of the manager, and a good one too.
