May 15, 2007 500ml bottle from Torquay supermarket. Big tasting beer with no carbonation. An alcohol feel of a barley wine. Sturdy malt with a good burn of hops. Holds together well. This tastes like a whiskey beer. Wood and vine character. A very satisfying Winter Warmer pulling well above its weight.

Feb 27, 2007 Bottle, 500ml. A reddish-brown colour with no head. Aroma is hoppy, slightly sweet with fruit cake. Taste is fairly hoppy, some chocolate malt, cherry and caramel. Flat carbonation - clearly hasn’t bottle conditioned. A moderately bitter, tannic finish with some caramel. Pretty tasty; shame about the lack of carbonation.

Jan 19, 2006 Bottle conditioned. Looks superb; clear as a bell chestnut with a creamy off-white head. Promising malty aroma, with some raisin and other fruit. Very nice mix of flavours. Sweet, malty, creamy, fruity (raisins) and some vinous notes. Some hoppy bitterness develops in the finish, as does some warming alcohol. Superbly smooth medium mouthfeel. Excellent and very drinkable winter warmer ale.

Dec 8, 2005 Copper-coloured with a huge light brown head. Yeast particles present. Rich malty aromas, slightly vinous and with the smell of cardboard. The flavour is malty with good bitterness, again slightly vinous. Quite fizzy. A bottle that probably escaped the quality control.
