Jan 20, 2008 <i> Cask at The National Winter Ales Festival, Manchester 18-01-07 </i> Pours very dark brown with a fruity spicy aroma. Plenty of fruits (as one might expect) in the flavour, and quite stewed as well. A surprisingly pushy bitterness with is followed by a nice ready brek style warming as this slowly slips down, also noticing a nice tanginess as I get further into this beer. Mmmhh quite decent.

Fruit and spice aromas. Dark coloured very strong in alcohol and fruity with a spicy cinnamon flavour. Slightly bitter finish.

Dec 31, 2006 A Mes rate: Cask at Cheadle Hulme JDW. Subtle nose with cinnamon and nutmeg. Dark ruby brown appearance with a decent well behaved off white head. Flavour is more cinnamon and spice with some medicine type notes. A little cherry too. Alcohol is fairly apparent but not too overpowering. Bitter finish that is a little strange. Can’t quite put my finger on it.
