Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - January.
Who’s tired of celebrating after 250 years? Kick off January with this deep amber beer, with its toasted nutty aroma, spicy hop perfume and a hint of lingering malt. Lovely with Haggis.
Hops: Fuggles.

Medium creamy offwhite lasting head. Lightly hazy brownish red body. Fruity nutty wild berry aroma with dusty earthy port notes. Very harmonic. Dry-sweetish papery port and prunes taste. Soft, mild mouthfeel. Thinnish body. Dry papery fruity aftertaste with earthy port notes. Very nice. (0.25l cask, The Warrington Hotel, Maida Vale, London. Tap said 4.7%, not 4.6%.)

Not quite the haggis bash bitter from previous years. However theres some cali hops playing with the spice from the haggis (as it must be drunk with haggis).

Pint pulled at The Railway in Putney (London), taking a while to settle to a clear brown with a good sized head. A bitter malt aroma with some stewed fruit undertones. A tartish flabour with hints of dried apricots and a long lingering finish.
