Cask; Seasonal - November to Febriary.
A really full flavoured ruby-black beer with dried fruit and bitter chocolate malt notes, leading to a rich, sweetish, fruity finish. Warms the cockles of your heart (whatever they are).

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, - FEB 3, 2012
Cask handpull at White Cliffs BF 2012. What I would call a winter warmer. Rich malt some biscuit some bitter hops on end touch of black pepper. Right to the style. And I do like this.

hirigalzkar (1457) - ENSKEDE, SWEDEN - JAN 23, 2012
Cask @ Akkurat. Chocolate, caramel, coffee and raisin notes. A touch of clove in the aftertaste. Surprisingly enough, quite vinous. Very smooth. Highly drinkable.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 14 Jan 2012) Reddish brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty, toasty nose with dark bread, raisins, caramel and toast. Malty, roasted taste with notes of chocolate, dark bread, dried fruit and toast. Medium body, with balanced sweetness and a gentle bitterness. Well balanced, tasty and quite enjoyable.
