Dec 6, 2006 Brown/amber ale with some carbonation. Sweet without being cloying, frutis and nuts. A christmas pudding sort of ale, but at the same time easy drinking.

Dec 5, 2006 How many good things can you say about this beer. Never heard of this brewer and picked this up to complete a mixed 6 pack (Thank you 3 Sons in Wexford). The pour was a beautiful red/light brown with a 2 finger head that stopped by to say hi, but didn’t intrude. Malts is the commander of this ship and a tight ship he do run. He allows for hops, and some dried fruit to peek above deck, but never lets them do more. This is a unique and delicious brew.

Dec 1, 2006 Bottle (341ml). Deep clear ruby with an average fluffy straw-coloured head. Really nice English strong aroma - roast malt, dried fruits, a massive hit-up of funky, pungent UK hops. Taste follows - sweet malt, almost burnt, light nuts and chocolate, the hop bitterness stays under control, it’s quite balanced. Solid body, chewy, lightly astringent, nice bitter/burnt malty aftertaste. Excellent winter brew, wish I’d bought a six-pack of these.
