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.

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.

Bottle conditioned. Gorgeous looking ruddy brown beer with foamy off-white head. Fruity nose, smooth palate & a malty taste with lingering bitterness. A good winter warmer.

Bottle purchase from Tuckers maltings online. Poured a chesnut colour with very little head good spicey and malty aroma. Taste was pleasantly malty with some dried fruits and had a definate christmasy feel to it. Another good beer from Teignworthy.

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.

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.
