Oct 6, 2003 The aroma is sweet and malty. The color is orange and it has a fine dense though disappearing head. The flavor is sweet and malty but slightly flat. The Shepherd Neame yeast is clearly present in the flavor. A boring Christmas beer.

May 15, 2005 Updated: Nov 5, 2005(Bottle 50 cl) Vintage 2002: very pretty, dark amber with a small light brownish head. Looking great in the clear glass bottle. Very pronounced maltiness without ever getting sweet - the Goldings level things out. Some underlying notes of almonds - I believe - but otherwise a very dry and pleasing Christmas beer. 6/4/7/4/12=3,3 301103
(Bottle 50 cl) Vintage 2003: very similar to the 2004 version only somewhat rounder, softer and more matured - with less carbonization. Pretty understandable as it is indeed a whole year older when tasted. 8/4/8/4/16=4 181104
(Bottle 50 cl) Vintage 2004: Dark amber, filtered, not much head - very pretty indeed. A fantastic caramel flavour, but never sweet or cloying in any way. Pretty strong for an English Ale, but the alcohol is almost completely hidden. Very, very delicious. Perhaps not as rounded as the 2003, but I guess it will develop the same way with age. 8/4/8/4/16=4 181104

Dec 24, 2002 Bottled. Nut brown. Vague orangey nose. Sweet and flowery with light body and syrupy mouthfeel. Notes of honey in the sticky sweet finish with very little hop presence. A one-dimensional ale seemingly inspired by cheap malt liquor.

Nov 18, 2006 Bottle. Vintage 2005. Light red color with a small white head. Aroma of fruit and hops as well as the flavour that ends up bitter. But very nice and smoth with a good balance between sweetnes and bitternes.
