Deep amber pour with a thin head. The aroma is quite spicy and fruity. Lots of deep rich sweetness and a bit of spiced fruitcake. Plummy and rich with a lot of ginger, clove and cinnamon. There is a lot of sweet dried fruit and a bit of peppery alcohol on the back. Rich and sweet. It’s a lovely winter ale.

Foggy red brown, fine bubbles create a fine off white head. Aroma of soft spice with a hint of lemon and mineral. Tastes like all kinds of rooty spice with a beguiling caramel-toffee finish. Overtones of citrus plays out in flavor, spicy round finish that is not overly sweet. Balance!
