Feb 19, 2009 Bottle conditioned, 500ml, from S.H Jones, Banbury. Chestnut colour with slight white head. Malt lead beer, quite deeply roasted with a fruity background, then some added christmassy noteswith a raisin, plum pudding , bready mnotes and a scoop full of caramel. Sweetish throughout, never really grabs you, but pleasant enough.

Jan 1, 2009 It is dark amber with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of fruity hops, malt and caramel. The flavour has smooth, pleasant notes of caramel and malt and refreshing notes of citrus, fruit and it ends on a dry note. It is a pleasant beer, not very Christmassy though.

Nov 19, 2008 Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding.
Pours redish amber with a medium, creamy, off-white head. Sweet malty aroma, some red berries, subdued chocolate and a touch of holly. Fine, very dry mouthfeel. Flavour has quite a lot of dry chocolate, crystal malts, some cocoa. Very dry finish. Different than most other Christmas beers, and that is not excactly a bad thing.

Oct 16, 2008 Bottle in the rake. Alround rating: Rich amber ruby and pale sweet malts, peppery leafy hop, definatly a fruit cake of a beer, but a bit overly sweet.

Jul 14, 2008 500ml bottle from Utobeer. Orange/red with lasting deep beige head. Lovely earthy hop aroma. Oh that is nice. Just shows what British brewers CAN do. Good malts, some red fruit, gorgeous red fruit, vanilla and earthy aroma. Subtle and agile ni mouth for a 6% beer. It’s just a lovely Xmas beer. Finish has a bit of sting. I wouldn’t have thought this was 6%. Rather lovely.
