500 mL bottle from Beers of Europe poured into a pint glass. Dark brown with lots of head a slight strawberry aroma. Tastes a krieky which sets it apart from other English beers. However it doesn’t quite get it right. An interesting experiment.

Intriguing winter style beer with a fair bit of spice and earth taste and in the aroma too. It has a dark fruit touch too which is perhaps from just one of the spices, or from a sharp fruit such as blackberry or maybe plum. It’s colour is dark brown red with no real head to speak of. It’s quite light and easy going, fairly smooth in the mouth. Not a bad beer really but nothing amazing.
