Aromas are light roast toffee malts with raisins, berries and yeast - quite plummy. Flavours are fruity, especially slightly sour berries, with toffee malts. Quite dry towards the finish. Not as rich as I expected for a Winter warmer. DJMonarch (6941), Northwich, Cheshire, England

2. Cask Handpump at the Head Of Steam, London 08/12/2005
Amber coloured beer with some alcohol presence. Fruity but the blackberries didn’t seem as prominent as they have when I’ve sampled this beer before. Some slight sourness and dryness with lots of malt in the finish. TheGrandMaster (1877), Auckland, New Zealand

Not a strong aroma, but soem maltiness comes through. Malty flavour again and quite smooth. haddonsman (1234), Derby, Derbyshire, England
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 1, 2005 Handpulled at Old Joint Stock, Birmingham. Alluring winter fruits aroma but sadly not followed through in the flavour; a snatch of barley, thin sweetness, leaves little aftertaste that’s worth writing home about. turbothy (728), Bonn, Germany
