Jan 14, 2008 (35.5cl bottle) Clear, reddish amber colour with a big, beige and slowly lacing foamy head. Moderately sweet toast-malty nose with caramel/toffee, lighter notes of liquorice and peppery spicy, slightly resiny hops. Bitter-sweet flavour, full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Roasty malty taste with toffee combined with very subtle fruity notes, dark chocolate and liquorice spice; bitter-sweet, roasty and slightly piney hoppy finish with a long lasting, pretty aromatic aftertaste with an well-integrated alcoholic burn.

Jan 13, 2008 355ml bottle at Microbar, Clapham, 8th Jan 08, with tashi. Pours mid-brown with a ruby hint. Rich, malty aroma with notes of brie, smoked meat and soy. Great flavour of roasted malt, sweet malt, chocolate and a little smoke. The finish is smooth as silk with hoppy bitterness giving way to a deep alcoholic warmth. This is a great winter ale!

Jan 13, 2008 Nose of rich roasted caramel. Feel is very thick and heavy. Notes of chocolate in the flavor blend with the heavy dose of caramel and coffee. Sweet. Bitter hoppy finish. Alcohol warming present, but generally the alcohol is hidden well. Excellent.

Jan 12, 2008 Classic example of a drink where you like all the ingredients but it does mesh together perfectly - regardless; a fabulous drink. Heavy and thick with a very rich malt base - Slightly bitter Chocolate and sweet vanilla blend well into the silky profile. Slightly smoked alder woody essence with hints of nuts. Great hop presence that is well served by the aging process. Really a fantastic drink - exemplar winter warmer.

Jan 12, 2008 Really nice seasonal! A heavy malty laced amber ale. Some spices: maybe a little cinnamon? Great beer to sit back and drink while rest of family is arguing around the dinner table. Priceless.

Jan 11, 2008 Bottle. Clear bronze with a good yellowish head. Raisins meets citrussy hops in the nose- a pleasant blend. Rich nuts and raisins flavours, vinous qualities, some alcohol. Sirupy texture, full-bodied and rich. An extremely well-made beer- perfectly harmonious, but could it be more daring?
